giunti con bulloni

[GianniM]

using inventor to make the steel shed (exercise for school), one thing I feel the lack is a tool for creating bolted joints.
It is not as with technometal that selects bars, the type of joint, and this is created automatically. you must realize each single hole, and plate, with obvious uncomfortableness in case of changes.

Is there any tool or solution to overcome the problem?

have you tried with the bolted connection of the inventor design accelerator? ?

Hi.
Sorry I'm late in the answer. I tried the suggested tool, but it doesn't seem very helpful, I think it allows me to fix 1 bolt at a time. is there not a tool that allows the management of the entire consignment?

in a word: forget it

inventor has no tool or application that does what you ask.
the already mentioned technometal does it well as autocad detail but all in autocad environment. probably the management of so many parts for each single knot would be too burdensome even for a simple three-door shed... .

thanks for confirmation

a bit late, but I only intervene to punctuate that inventor allows you to insert more bolts at once, provided you use the serial command to create holes... Unfortunately it is actually very limited in the "casual" holes section. Moreover, after a (bel) some connections start to go into crisis but it is enough to temporarily suppress those already done that you can work quietly. . up to a couple of hundred connections (single or following the series) there is no big problems.
then it is true that it will not be (probably) ever as a dedicated application, but only a few more features would become really convenient.
