Bolted connection is one of the design accelerator add-ins that I use the absolute most along with frame generator, and I'd really love to see some more development on it in the future. I've come across a few things with potential for impovement as I've used it over the years, and one of them is the case illustrated below where the reference hole is in the middle betweed the holes to be drilled. Here the Bolted Connection command doesn't seem to take that into account and places it at the top. I think it would be more intuitive if it were placed correspondingly in the list in the dialogue box.
Among other things I think would greatly improve the Bolted Connection command is the possibility to add holes above the selected screw and/or below the selected nut if you have one. The reason for that is that when working with hollow profiles, like the rectangular and square standard profiles in frame generator, you might need an access hole to accomodate a socket wrench or similar. I would assume that sockets follow certain standards just like the fasteners they're made to fit, so I think it would be feasable to also include standard clearance holes for the sockets within this concept. It wouldn't hurt at least.
Further: having support for Bolted Connection, and any other design accelerator for that matter, within the iLogic context would be absolutely amazing, and allow for even more rationalization of potentially repetitive tasks.
