Outstanding Sam,thank-you for moving this forward!

Very nice work, Sam. Your ability to structure a script for easy interpretation is wonderful...!

Sam
Thanks for a great plugin that does everything required to add bolts to a project.
And another thanks for writing plugins that are easy to follow, allowing me to gain knowledge from your scripts.

I`m stunned... This is way beyond my expectations
-
Wow!! What a time saver. Thanks.
-
very nice...
just tested it and it will come in handy for my timber to steel connections.i did notice that if bolt 2 components together, it will update all components in the model with the holes, regardless of if those components were part of the bolt assembly. small niggle, and something i can work around, for sure.
nice work!
-
Of course that's the nature of components. Editing one changes all. Before using Bolt Maker, right click on each and choose "Make Unique". Groups don't have that problem.
-
Very nice plugin. Thank you!

OOPS!!!! Sorry Bolt Maker fans. Dispite what I thought was adaquate testing, I found a problem while playing around with the plugin this morning. It has been corrected and a new copy posted.
Hi younger brother !
You say it's the file is updated but where is the updated file placed ?
-
Most logical authors put the current file download-link on the first post in the tool's thread.
So look there.It's quite easy to add a link to that very page in the post announcing the update - see most of my scripts' threads...

I allready HAVE that file - so it's OK !
But normaly you can't place a new posting as the first posting i a thread - right ?
You have to EDIT the first post
-
Correct - the author owns the first post [usually where the first download link as given]... so he can edit that post later if the script is updated.
So if the file changes he updates the script on the first page and the thread's title to suit.
The Plugins Index 'sniffer-dog' spots titles starting with [Plugin] and also notices any changes to them for version/date etc so the index is auto-updated... -

If you would care to attach the model to your post, I will try to determine what the problem is.
If an inference has been established to an edge on another face, that can confuse things and cause this error because the inferenced point is what you get and not the point you think you are pointing at.

juanjin,
I didn't have any problem with your model. It has to be a odd coincidence that you were getting the error message. Although it is not required that all entities be components or groups, I would highly recommend it so that the plugin can better identify the selected face.

But does not affect the use, multi-select time
