Hi team, 
Does anyone know where the Riv nuts are? I can't seem to find M8.
This Pem fastener system seems pretty average.

    PEM fasteners are not the same as Rivnuts. They are pressed into sheetmetal, cold forming the sheetmetal around the PEM nut/standoff/stud. Rivnuts are riveted in place. I don't believe Rivnuts are built into Onshape. You would need to download them from the vendor, or probably a better source is McMaster-Carr.

    Nick Thank you.
