I have recently configured out as an example the hex boltsfrom the toolbox used at my company.

I choose all the applicable sizes and lengths used here. I chooseto show cosmetic thread only. I applied a custom property formaterial "ex zinc plated gr2, non plated grade 2" for a total of 8materials

The combination of these variable resulted in over 6000 bolts,which is true and fine

I then added my companies part number to these 6000 bolts

Everything was looking good

Then I attempted to generate these bolts and SolidWorks locked up.

It appears if it take roughly 20-30 min to generate 100 bolts so6000 bolts would be 20-30 hours. Therefore I allowed it to run forthe Christmas holidays (4days). It never finished and appeared tolock up.

Has anyone had this issue and better yet is there a fix?SolidworksToolbox
