Oh and do you know anything about dealing with wires and cables in Inventor? I'm trying to make the model as realistic as possible so... Wiring... Not excited about that... Yay...
I have played with wiring with a not so fun experience. I ended up using the tool to route pneumatics tubing once. You can see here. I didn't do a very good job but it was a first time with the tool so, and I teach myself through trial and error...


to put the nut on you mate the centerline to centerline or mate around a radius. So click the rounded surface of the bolt then click the rounded inner surface of the nut and they should snap together, After that you mate surface to surface on the bolt and the nut and you should be complete.
