bolt-width across flats

[Anonymous]

How do i change the size of the "Width Across Flat" in this CC bolt?

I need it 1mm in from the sides of the Head (Width SW=16mm).....Width Across Flats i want at 15mm

I tried to change in the fx dialogue box but no success

Using Inventor 2013

The "Flat's" are controlled by the Parameters "SW", If you expand the "Head" Feature and edit the Sketch, you will find the Parameter is "SW". Then Just make the change in the Parameter function under the Manage Tab

Did you try changing in Parameters?

(looks like someone should have run spell check.

Thanks, that'sn what one gets for holding the phone with the shoulder and typing with one hand while holding papers in the other hand. I'm thinking about taking my shoes and socks off to be even more productive today.

No, not from your screen - it looks like the note had spelling error in original.  Autodesk mistake.

I just opened an random bolt from 2015 CC and same spelling error.

Do you mean a 16 MM DIAMETER with 15 MM flats on that diameter?

To do that you need to edit the sketch in the part
