Fasteners workbench based on screw-maker

To center the rod in the hole, it is rather simple. Just select the rim of the hole before pressing the "threaded rod" button. If you select several holes, A rod will be created and centered on each of the selected holes.

Oh, this is beautiful, thanks a lot (for both answering and the functionality) !

I think I never did, but really really thank you for the Fastener's WB. It is one of my favourite external WBs. It is just so cool to select the rim, get the screw in the hole (or invert if the direction is wrong), and then, when you move the main part, the screw follows the movement. It is just awesome.

Reposting my github issue here: https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_FastenersWB/issues/26

so, for example, I bought M2.5x12 ISO7380 screws,
I wanna use it for my project and I'm trying to make it's 3D model,
minimum size I can get is M3, this looks like an issue for me

maybe it's even better to have some custom screw creation tool, Eg. I have M3x30 screws, but it's 2mm long for me, I can cut it somehow (on lathe, or some saw) but I can't do it in workbench

Thanks!

May be you should uodate your fasteners WB... Here the smalest screw i can get is 1.6mm.
Screws at Fasteners WB are sized according to DIN, what is "like you can buy it". In my mind it dosn't make much sense to have (or can make) individual sizes.

Thanks for response, will try to update, I wasn't using it for a while, I was asked to post it here in github issue

Hello @shaise,

Please excuse me if this question is too simple, but I did search many documents and could not get the answer.

I'm making a part purely by script. I've learned to modify the parameters of a bolt after the bolt is added from GUI workbench "Fasteners". However, I could not find the script or code to add the bolt from "Fasteners workbench". I tried recording the adding action with Macro, and I researched the document of Fasteners' github, but I could not find the way. So, could you or anyone please give me a clue, or a link for me to follow?

Thanks
Michael

I added the answer to the README.md file (PR) in a new section called Adding Fasteners via Script (it should actually be 'Python')
See the preview:

Edit: fixed

[shaise]

I added the answer to the README.md file

Great! thanks.
