Hello All.
I’m looking for and advice or help with fasteners and standard hardware models (ie. screws, nuts washers). I’ve been using downloaded STP models of bolts, but I’m finding that a 528KB STP bolt model can result in a 1.15MB Alibre PRT file. Therefore, I would like to know if there’s a smarter and/or better way to build a collection (library) of standard attachment hardware for repetitive use, which will not hog memory space? Is there a Fastener Hardware Library that’s created for use in Alibre Design? Or, is there a Parametric Model that can be used to generate various size fasteners specific to Alibre Design software?
My software is Alibre Design Expert V26.
Thanks,
Walt
