Replicating Virtual Bolts

You can generate copies of an existing bolt at other holes in the model.

  1. From the Connections section of the action bar, click Bolt Replication .
  2. Select the bolt to be cloned.
  3. Click Find Bolts to search the model for other paired holes of similar sizing.

    The search finds all hole pairs that connect the same parts and have the same diameter as the original bolt.

    The search results are shown in a list, and the holes are highlighted in the model.
  4. Optional: Use the context menu to revise the selections.
    OptionDescription
    Remove Selected Delete a clone from the list.
    Invert Selection When there are multiple selections available, switch the current selection with the unselected items.
  5. Click OK or Apply.

    The same load that was applied to the original bolt is applied to the clones.

    The new bolts are independent of the original bolt, and you can edit or delete them individually.
