Product Information

Bolts/Fasteners parametrically creates these shapes in plan or elevation views based on dimensional data from external ASCII data files. You may add additional dimensional information on bolts or nuts that are unique to your specific application.

Bolts drawn in elevation allow for a material thickness to be specified, using hidden lines to represent the shaft through the material. A washer may be added at the bolt head and nut, with a single or double chamfer nut.

AutoCAD Compatibility Supports AutoCAD 2000-2012 and is compatible with the x32 and x64 workstations running Windows / Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7. These versions can be run on standalone workstation or on a network server provided you have a multi-user license for all the users on the network.

AutoCAD LT Versions We do have specific versions for AutoCAD LT 2000-2012 at this time.  However, these versions require a third party AutoLISP extender such as the CAD Booster or CADsta LT Toolkit Max. These programs are not included in the SoftDraft Software and must be purchased separately.  If you are interested in this version please send an email to sales@softdraft.com with your AutoCAD LT version for more details and pricing.

Bolts/Nuts/Washer Types

• Hex bolts
• Heavy hex bolts
• Square bolts
• Bolt holes
• Hex nuts
• Square nuts
• Type A washers

FEATURES:

• Creates Hex, Heavy Hex, and Square, bolts, nuts, washers, and bolt holes. Draw in plan or elevation.
• Elevation view draws complete bolt with hidden lines for shaft through material thickness.
• Standard and “J” type anchor bolts included.
• Data files based on the Industrial Fasteners Institute, “Fasteners Standards Manual”, 5th Edition. Bolts, nuts and washers are created parametrically and made into AutoCAD® blocks for easy placement, relocation, and control over color and linetype changes.
• All shapes have added intelligence for easy identification.

Anchor Bolts

Anchor bolts are created in standard or “J’ type, with options for projection length, thread length, total bolt length and embed point. Anchor bolt threads are hatched automatically. An option to mirror “J” type anchor bolts saves time in creating a pair of anchor bolts for column details.

All shapes are created from the dimensional data when inserted the first time and converted to an AutoCAD block for ease of editing and added intelligence.
