Fasteners Workbench

Introduction
The Fasteners Workbench is an external workbench that can add/attach various fasteners to parts.

Installation

 * 1) Install the Fasteners Workbench via the [[Image:AddonManager.svg|24px]] Addon Manager. For manual installation see Installing more workbenches.
 * 2) Restart FreeCAD.
 * 3) Create a new document.
 * 4) Select the [[Image:Fasteners_workbench_icon.svg|24px]] Fasteners Workbench from the Workbench dropdown list. The two default toolbars belonging to the workbench will display.
 * 5) Optionally change the toolbar layout: . The available options are:
 * : All fastener appear in a single toolbar. This is the default.
 * : Fasteners are grouped in several toolbars.
 * : Fasteners are grouped in toolbars with flyouts.

Usage
Simple Usage: Clicking on any of the fastener buttons will create that fastener at the origin with default properties. To change the properties of a fastener select it and go to the tab of the Property editor.

Known issues

 * Other issues/feature requests can be found on the Fastener Workbench GitHub issue queue

Toolbars
The Fasteners Workbench has two toolbars. The toolbar contains many tools. If required it can be expanded by pressing the button.
