You can specify the default Smart Fasteners components to use with different standards and hole types. You can also make the fastener's length change when the hardware stack changes, and make the stack hardware size change when the fastener's size changes.
An administrator can restrict modifications
to the Smart Fasteners data. Other users can view, but not modify, the
restricted data without the administrative password. See User Access Control.

Do one of the following:
Click Toolbox, Configure.

On the Smart Fasteners tab, set the following options.
Select from the options to limit the available washer types, depending on the size of the Smart Fastener.
Exact match. Limits the available types to washers that exactly match the fastener size.
Greater than tolerance. Limits the available types to hole diameters that match the fastener size within the tolerance you type.
Unrestricted. All washer types are available.
Select the following options to associate Smart Fasteners and hardware stack dimensions.
Change fastener length when stack components are added or removed. Fastener length increases when you add additional stack hardware, and decreases when you remove stack hardware. Fastener length changes by standard increments and cannot be longer than the longest national standard.
Change stack components when fastener size is changed. Nut and washer sizes automatically change when the fastener size changes.
Fasteners to use with Hole Wizard holes. Select a default fastener for each Hole Standard.
Holes to use with Non-Hole Wizard holes. Select a default Hole Standard and a default fastener.
