Bolts and Content Center

[mrB_Young]

So, most of the bolts and nuts that we use in assemblies have already been used and generated from content centre.
But now, after the latest Vault and Inventor updates, when placing a bolt that haven't been used before, the thread of the bolt always defaults to M1.6x0.35 from the ANSI Metric M Profile

This designation is the first size on the list in the family table. Why is it taking this?
This has never been a problem in the past.  I haven't edited the content centre recently either.
This is something that has started happening after installing the latest Vault and Inventor 2024 updates, and have only seen it for the first time last week, after placing a new size of bolt that we haven't used before.

If I change "Type" to ISO Metric Profile, then it will jump to the correct thread size and designation.  But not really helpful since the content centre files are locked.

What's going on here?

Hi Ben,

Interesting. We did not make any changes related to sort family table rows for R 2024.3. Additionally, when I take ISO 4014 bolt family, it uses Thread type = ISO Metric profile for all family members / rows. So not sure when ANSI metric profile comes from.

Are you saying you select size M10 and Place from Content Center places default size M 1.6? In this case, mapping under Family Properties is somehow broken, means Family Table does not ride bolt parameters, bolt uses parameters from template.

Sorry, I have no better answer so far.

I haven't had time to make any further investigation into this, but ALL bolts that we place now that hasn't already been used always comes up with M1,6 thread from the ANSI Metric profile.  I'm sure this used to be ISO Metric.
I don't know what has happened here. I haven't changed/edited any content centre related for several months. I find this to be rather bizarre behaviour.
