   • For example, Libraries > Components > Fasteners > etc.
5. Move the cursor over the component you want.
   • The program opens a dimension drawing.
   • View (and write down) the labels for the variables that describe the diameter and length, as they are asked when you add the component to the wizard database.
6. Double-click a component.
   • The program opens a dialog box: Select the type of the fastener.
7. Select the type of the fastener.
   • Screws.

10. Select the variable that describes the length from the list.
    • The program adds all dimension variants of the component to the wizard database.
