Hi,

McMaster-Carr is one of my goto places for hardware - and they do seem to have CAD files for everything - at lease everything I have purchased had them available - even individual files for things like press-in metric inserts - somebody did a lot of work.

I tried out the align function - pretty neat - it would save time - but I cannot get it to do anything but position the fastener objects at the surface or all the way in the hole - cannot seem to click on the center of the "face" between the "threaded" part and the head of the fastener - maybe if I create the "threaded" part separate from the head.

I will dig into the .htm file - I used to program for a living - but that was 25+ years ago - and much has changed.

Thanks again for all your help.

Frederick
