Your company issued a design policy. The policy states • ~

that you are required to only use parts that are presently in nut retaining

the company's parts library. The policy is designed to

lower inventory cost, purchasing cost and design time.

In this project, the SW Design Library parts simulate your company's part library.

Utilize a hex flange bolt located in the Hardware folder. Specify a new folder location in

the Design Library to locate the components utilized in this project.
