Fasteners Workbench

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

Usage
Usage is pretty straightforward:
 * 1) Install the Fasteners Workbench via the Addon Manager
 * 2) Start a new document in FreeCAD.
 * 3) Select the [[Image:Fasteners_workbench_icon.svg|24px]] Fasteners Workbench from the drop-down list.
 * 4) A series of screws will show on the toolbar (see the Fasteners Workbench toolbar below)

Simple Usage: Clicking on any of the screws will create this screw in the origin position with default size. To change size/length select the newly created screw, then go to the data tab in the property panel, there you can change diameter and length.

Known issues

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

Installation
This workbench can be installed from the Addon Manager. For manual installation see Installing more workbenches.

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