Bolted Connection Enhancement

The Bolted Connection dialog box now contains a toggle that supports inserting the connection as individual components or as a sub-assembly into the main assembly.

Previously, these components could only be inserted as a sub-assembly. In the dialog box, click Enables/Disables the sub-assembly structure to toggle between inserting a top level component or a sub-assembly component.
