Nylon screws

Is there a way to add a Nylon screw to an assembly? More specifically an M8x 20mm hex head nylon screw. The "material" list in Standard Content doesn't offer Nylon. Any tips??

Go to a supplier for the screw you want, get the CAD data, import in your document.
I suppose the broader question is whether it is possible to edit the standard content (I know how that sounds!)? The mating features are pretty handy for adding nuts and washers etc, but it's quite a limited set of fastenings. Two of the things I'm after - a Nylon bolt and a 25mm M5 washer aren't available.
