Place Fasteners


Digitally signed app
説明
Place Fasteners automatically inserts fasteners with automatic size selection based on the sizes of the holes or slots.
Fasteners can be sourced from the user's custom library or Content Center. Supports 5 material types for each fastener.
To add a bolted connection, user selects only two edges, allowing the application to determine the diameter and length of the inserted the fasteners.
Key Features
- Supports both metric and imperial fasteners.
- Compatible with all custom libraries and part types and Content Center, including integration with Autodesk® Vault®.
- Allows selection from 5 material types per fastener item.
- Can insert fasteners into both round and slotted holes.
- Automatically validates the model for inconsistencies. For example, if a smooth Ø8 mm hole is selected alongside an M10 threaded hole, a relevant warning is displayed.
- Detects interference between fasteners and the model.
- Fasteners are highlighted in red if a collision is detected.
- Fasteners are highlighted in yellow if placed in holes with no clearance (e.g., inserting an M8 fastener into a Ø8 mm hole).
- Automatically enables a half-section view state for improved visualization.
- Supports placing fasteners into folders, with customizable folder names.
- Supports placement in free space without constraints.
- Allows toggling between fully and partially threaded hex head bolts.
- Enables propagation of fasteners across multiple faces simultaneously.
- Supports insertion Content Center items as custom parts into specified folder.

Lifetime license, 30 USD. Why does it say once a year? What does it mean?
Does it mean you have to buy it again after one year?
Hello Len, Thank you for your questions. Today, the price is lifetime price. However, we are changing it to the annual later this year, so that we can continue developing and supporting our Autodesk applications. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. Regards, Leo | Move Work Forward
永久使用这个插件需要付出多少?
Hello and thank you for asking. The current price (2025.03.04) is 30 USD.
I have been working on a project recetly that requires 10,000 of bolted assemblies. using the standard inventor ''bolted assembly'' was seriously slowing down my work flow.
Finding this addon has saved me hours of work, it is quick and very intuative to use.
This app does a good job in keeping the process easy and simple. Great app
Hi, this is one of the best apps in the Autodesk App Store.
