Standard Parts (Bolts, Washers, Screws...)
Hello, is there a simple way to insert standard parts into an assembly? I do not mean the handling and inserting process. I really find it hard to get the right standard part (e.g. DIN912 M8x80 8.8). I use the Apps 3DX Certified Models and Part Solutions. To find the right parts in these apps is quite hard. Too many options and hard to find the needed 'folder'. It costs me a lot of time to insert a screw - compared to the SW library.
How do other users handle this? Would be nice to hear from your experience.

I typically go to McMaster Carr, find the part (in 15 seconds) and download / upload the CAD model (if available).
I hope one day onshape will have a reusable part library.
