    Default Dynamic Blocks - Creating dynamic bolt blocks

    Hi everyone, my first post on here. I have trawled the internet for help on this but cannot seem to find the info im after. The company i work for have tasked me with making all the standard bolt blocks into dyanmic blocks. What we are after is a block of each size bolt which can then be stretched according to the length required with another grip to stretch the length of the thread. I have attached a simple dwg of an M10 hex head bolt. If anyone can take a look at this and make it stretch as desired it will be a massive help.

    Thanks,

    Jake

    You might take a serious look at AutoCAD Mechanical and make use of its library (or Content Center - whatever it's called). For the few extra bucks it costs, what you seek is already there and will probably save you big bucks in the long run.

    Do you want to show the thread on the bolt and also do you want to size it in increments to suit your standard sizes
