It seems that there is no way to resize the msa bolt head and nut objects. Does anyone know why, have a fix, or know where to find a decent bolt object.
I assume you are on version 8.1 or earlier, since these parts have been called DET and not MSA from 9.0 onwards? (Always post your AC version - editing your signature under the Profile link at the top of the screen is the easiest way.)
You must be looking at AB_HeadElev and AB_Nut_Elev. There is line missing (bug) from the 2D scripts for these parts that prevents them from being resizeable.
In the DET_AB_Nut_Elev 11 part, insert the following line at the top of the 2D Script:
mul2 a/(1 1/4"), b/(0 7/8")
In the DET_AB_Head_Elev 11 part, insert:
mul2 a/(1 1/4"), b/(0 5/8")
Save each part with a new name in your company library until GS releases an updated 11 library - if they see this post and make these changes.
😉
This line just says to scale the part relative to the default A (width) and B (height) values for it.

PS Most of these DET objects are just saved 2D symbols, so you can open the object, edit the 2D symbol, and save with a new name. Or, you can explode them into primitives with the explode command and edit them further in plan/section/worksheet/etc.
