Threads in Assembly Drawings
Threads in Assembly Drawings
(OP)
I am trying to determine the best route for threads in our SW files. Right now we use simplified toolbox fasteners, but there have been complaints that the bolts look like rivets in assembly drawings. I have tried cosmetic threads. They work great in assemblies but do not appear in the drawings. It looks like I will need to move to schematic threads to get the desired results.
Has anyone else had experience with this situation?
Am I stuck with "rivets" or CPU intensive threads?

RE: Threads in Assembly Drawings
If you went with real threads, the user would complain about slow downs and that will be the result if you use true threads. I was with a company that required true threads. They had to eat expensive computer cost to keep up. It gets pointless after a while, because you can only go so fast versus your complexity.

RE: Threads in Assembly Drawings
Select the view and "Insert Model Items". Check the cosmetic thread box.
