Auto Sizing Toolbox Components

Some Toolbox components can adapt to the size of the geometry to which they are dragged.

To use auto-sizing Toolbox components:

  1. Drag a Toolbox component that supports auto sizing into an assembly.
    The following Toolbox components support auto sizing:
    • Bolts and screws
    • Nuts
    • Retaining rings
    • Pins
    • Washers
    • Bearings
    • O-Rings
    • Gears
    • PEM fasteners
  2. Select the hole where you want to place the component.


    The component resizes and an exact preview is displayed.

    Toolbox displays a message if no matching size is available.

  3. In the PropertyManager:
    1. Under Properties, adjust the values.
    2. Under Options, select Auto size to mated geometry.
      When you select Auto size to mated geometry, the component updates when you change the geometry to which the component is mated.
  4. Drag the next component that includes your adjustments and place it.
