[Anonymous]

Good morning, I am using Inventor 2018 and was wondering if they have added Torx screws yet. I cvannot find any in the Content Center?

Hi @Anonymous,

The only upload from an Autodesk employee I know is this.

 The file (desktop library) can be downloaded from here.

Hi Kevin,

I'm pretty sure that Autodesk haven't added Torx screws yet. However, you can download custom libraries to use in your content center. Here's a link to a post on the idea page where somebody's made their own: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/torx-screws-in-content-center/idi-p/5217037

You may also find more on the internet, haven't had a chance to search myself.

Lewis 🙂

Those are all Metric, what about Imperial flathead 8-32 x 1/4"

Hey @Anonymous

You can download just about any type of screw that you could ever use from McMaster-Carr

https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-flat-head-screws/=1e50uom 

Here is a page from McMaster-Carr with your requirements; Flat Head, #8-32 x 1/4, and Torx drive.

You can download the screw as a STEP, then save it as an ipt as a custom part.

... and don't forget that you can create your own CC fasteners pretty easily.  Get an example from the CC and examine how it was done, then create your own.
