Standard content - longer bolts (Easy fix?)

JoshBarnett

Hi all

Guessing this is defined in the standard... but the length of bolts/screws seem generally limited to 10x the diameter... this is pretty annoying as quite often need an M5 x 85 or an M12 x 250 etc.

Temporary solution? - Add more lines in the length dropdown menu to accomodate for 30x the diameter (maybe with an asterisk at >10x diameter to indicate oversize) 

Better solution? - User generated standard content option (unbound by standard)

Thanks
Josh

@JoshBarnett Today they are standard.  For longer bolts and larger hardware we will be adding ways for you to modify them or make a standard copy and them tweak it.  Customizing standards is a request in here.

Lou, I use a lot of long bolts and find it frustrating I can get these from the std content. It'd be great to have a way to make my own company's std content for these slightly special locally std parts.
