Certain built-in plug-in objects, such as some bolts, washers, screws, tapped holes, and so on, allow you to customize parts of the object definition.

To customize built-in plug-in object definitions:

Select the command.

The Plug-in Manager dialog box opens.

Click the Built-in Plug-ins tab.

Select the plug-in object definition to be edited, and then click Customize.

The Customize Plug-in dialog box opens. On each tab, settings that are not grayed can be customized for the selected plug-in object.

Éditez les paramètres personnalisables comme décrit dans Définition d’un plug-in.

When editing pop-up choices:

To remove a choice from the list, highlight it and press the Backspace key.

To add a new choice to the list, insert the cursor at the desired location in the list, and enter the new parameters.

To edit a choice, simply type over the existing parameters.

Do not leave blank lines in the list of choices.

If you add choices to a 2D plug-in object that has a 3D counterpart, the same choices must be added to the 3D plug-in object in order for the Create 3D Object from 2D command to work properly.

Use the following guidelines to add or edit a size:
