Ring around cosmetic thread in SW2004
Ring around cosmetic thread in SW2004
(OP)
Whenever I draw a part with a cosmetic thread, such as a threaded hole in a square block, the software displays a black ring the same size as the major diameter of the thread. When I apply material or color, the ring remains. It is as if it is projecting the major diameter to just above the part surface. Really....it does...I am not imagining things!
Is there a setting that I need to change or am I just stuck with "ring around the thread"?
Thanks for your time and any help or suggestions!

You can get rid of the 'ring' by turning off 'all annotations' under the 'view' menu.

Is there a way to quickly turn those off and still have my fake threads inside the tapped holes?

Could this be a Service Pack issue? We’re running SW2004 with SP0.0 (!) I know I know...
I’m embarrassed to say that my company just granted our Engineering Dept internet use so now I actually have access to the Service Packs. I’m ready to install SP4.1 but I have to cajole the source discs from the clutches of the powers-that-be.
I’ve been gun shy about asking many questions because of this—I’m hoping many of the things that I’m seeing can be quickly remedied by a good Service Pack upgrade.

As for your first question - Check out the Fixed SPR's at the SW website to see if they fixed your issue, that's why put that information out there. It's for your benefit and piece of mind. You should be running the latest SP anyhow.
