  • Screw length configuration

    Hello! I'm creating different documents with screws that we use at the office making some configurations for each metrics and characteristics (length, thread...) but I don't know how to put a determinate option of length for each metric. For example, for metric M4 I have 5,10,15 mm lengths, but for M2 I just want 5 mm…
