Hi,

 

There is a demo code in the help file to place a bolt from the contemt center with vb.net. But I am interested in place a structural steel and can not figure out how should I specify the length.

 

Any sample code?

 

Thanks

I was wondering how to set the length of a steel?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This sample demonstrates how to place an instance of a Content Center part into an assembly.
