Bolt assembly
The selected check boxes define which component objects (bolt, washers, and nuts) are used in the bolt assembly.
If you want to create a hole only, clear all the check boxes.
To modify the bolt assembly in an existing component, select the Effect in modify check box and click Modify.
Bolt length increase
Define how much the bolt length is increased. Use this option when, for example, painting requires the bolt length to be increased.
