Bolted Connection

I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but If you fixed the bolt to the working point, you should be able to rotate that bolt at that point.

Sorry! I will try to explain you better. I put a picture to illustre what I want to say.

The set of bolt can rotate aroud the point I select, but I dont want it. The hole on each plate is correctly placed, but i can move the bolt. I think it should not be possible to do that.

Sorry for my english, I speak french.

thankyou

Did you select all points before bolt connection selection or just you selected one point and then after when you selected bolt connection, did you allow to Inventor select itself rest of holes?

I think is better select all working points and then create a bolt connection or create one bolt connection for one hole and repeat feature for the rest. It's up to you.

P.S. As you can see my English is also not very well..
Thus don't sorry for your English because I'm not better than you and I have the same problem. If some people don't understand you only reason is because they don't want to...

The way I proced to creat a bolted connection is : I creat a sketch with a working point for each hole having the same start plane and end plane. After I use the commande bolted connection with the option «on point». I select one of the points of my skecth and all the others become blue like the first one. So, I think they should be localised and don't move.
All the hole are always at the right place and the bolt also but if I drag (somtime by mistake) these bolt, they move.

I would like they can't move. But I just come to see that when I edit the bolted connection, they take back their place. My probleme is in part solved. But does exist a way to fix it without place bolt one by one?

thank you wjaroszynski

and at my eyes, your english seem perfect!! haha!

That looks like a regular pattern, so
- in the part create a workpoint at first location.
- create a Feature Pattern of the workpoint.

- in assembly you can select the feature pattern for bolted connection (you might need to first toggle to Modeling View rather than Assembly View at the top of the Assembly browser - I can't remember for sure if you need to do this step.)

If you can't figure it out attach your assembly here.

hi,

Please take a look at the attached. There are two different ways to do that connection
