Can anyone tell me what I need to do to add a lock washer to a smart fastener? I put screws, flat washers and hex bolts in just fine but when I look for a lock washer in the bottom stack, there just isn't one there.

I changed the type of fastener from ANSI metric to JIS and I was able to find Lock Washers in that category. Maybe I'm just plain crazy, but I'm thinking that ANSI has some standards for lock washers also.

Additionally, what if I have a special type of washer (A Metric Rib Lock Washer) that I use for some instances? Can I put my own fasteners in the stack?

Maybe I'm wishing for too much but it seems like I can add the same type of mating references as there parts and get the same usefulness if they just give me the option to add it.
