System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 457.30

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.83.4, branch: master, commit date: 2020-08-05 06:00, hash: blender/blender@c113af8288

Addon Information
Name: BoltFactory (0, 4, 0)
Author: Aaron Keith

Short description of error
BoltFactory generates 1000 times too large bolts.
For example, for the M8 preset, the thread diameter should be 8 mm, but at this point it is 8000 mm.
Generally, this would not be too much of a problem, as you can shrink the object by 0.001, but if you accept the new scale after this operation, when you re-edit the bolt (rmb - Change Bolt), it reverts to its original 1000 times larger size.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
1 - Add Bolt
2 - Scale 0,001
3 - Apply Scale
4 - RMB - Change bolt

Thx

This is not a bug. Do not apply scale before clicking "Change Bolt". The addon remembers the parameters, and after pressing "Change Bolt" returns to them, it does not take any other changes.

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that the values included in "custom properties" are probably expressed in old blender units, where one unit was actually 1 meter.
In technical projects, I often use the "Apply Scale" command on many selected objects, so in the case of bolts, saving them to the 0.001 scale is sometimes difficult.

Changed status from 'Needs Triage' to: 'Needs Developer To Reproduce'

The presets don't account for scene units, so the value will always be equivalent to a multiple of a meter. This could be adjusted to account for units, but I will leave it up to the developer to decide if this should be considered a bug or not.
