How to draw fasteners (nuts, bolts, eye screws, rivet, etc...). I took a CAD class in college but I am not remembering too much. The drawings don't have to be pretty just good enough to get the point across.

Is it possible to use your own customer fasteners with bolted connections?
I other words, special nuts / bolts that do not appear in the Inventor standard libraries, that are essentially user created, defined and published.

I would like to add a "Shoulder Bolt" fastener (both Inch & Metric) to the Clearance.xls file so that when selected it would generate a counterbore hole the size of the shaft and a corresponding thread specific to the bolt size (all of which I can input in the table) but currently I have to do this manually by selecting a "counterbore - thru thread" condition.
Also, we use Helicoil inserts a lot and would like to add this to the Thread.xls but I need Inventor to differentiate between a standard threaded hole & the Helicoil so that the hole callout on the drawing will come in as desired.

I have a part with multiple holes created in a single hole feature (i.e. not patterned but made by selecting multiple sketch center points). As desired, the holes all have the same size since they all fit the same fastener. Is there a way to easily assemble fasteners to all the holes? Currently, I am using insert for each fastener and this gets tedius if there are many holes. Additinally, if the number of holes changes, a manual update is required. I'm hoping there is something that works similar to associative patterns.

I don't know what to do with my drawing Units and Scale.
I want to draw in Meters! But when i make a rectangle 30x15m it looks so small that i can't see it in my draw. Using my scale is 1:1 and Units Meters.
I tried changing my scale and my units and the rectangle still looks the same way it was. If i want something to look big, i have to draw in mm, for example, 30000x15000mm rectangle.
But, when i do that, everything go wrong...For example, when i draw a rectangle in mm (30000x15000) and i change the line style in layer command or when i try to hatch/linear dimension and etc all looks very small or very big.

Most programs do really bad conversions!
I have also attached the logo as a .ai file (Adobe Illustrator) which I got off the net but I can't do much with that as I don't have that program installed.

I have to draw a rectangle using ObjectARX but the problem is that i cannot find a method for the task, I found all kind of other methods like Line, Circle, ..... I managed to do it like that:
Point3d pointA = new Point3d(20,20,0); Point3d pointB = new Point3d(40,20,0); Point3d pointC = new Point3d(20,10,0); Point3d pointD = new Point3d(40,10,0); Line line1 = new Line(pointA, pointB); Line line2 = new Line(pointA, pointC); Line line3 = new Line(pointB, pointD); Line line4 = new Line(pointC, pointD);
But I thnk there must be a way to do it more easily.
I am still new in ObjectARX.
