To build a Bolt & nut in 3D i have found that you have to do it with the 3d fastener tool creating a bolt, then two washers then the nut so the finished result is 4 seperate objects, when imported to 2010 these objects seperate themselves somehow (for me anyway), A 3D option to the bolt & nut mm tool will simplify things alot. This would save alot of time as we do alot of 3D modelling of structural components & changing bolt sizes in 3D could be simply selecting in a different size. At the moment i have to change the bolt size, then the nut size, then the washers size & re position them in 3D. Quite a rigmarould.
