Crazy Cosmetic Threads
Crazy Cosmetic Threads
(OP)
I am using SWX 2005 SP02 and have been having two cosmetic thread problems.
Frequently I will be working in an assembly and out of no where huge, dashed line circles appear. When I hover over them, the flag says HoleThreadXX. I have to go into the detail that has that thread, Edit Feature on that tap, hit Ok, then the cosmetic thread goes back to the correct size. I am working in a metric drawing using metric taps.
For the other cosmetic thread problem I am having, I have yet to find a fix. I have a large base part with many tapped holes in the top. I am getting "shadows" of the cosmetic threads. For example, if I have two taps 100mm apart, I will not only get the cosmetic threads on those two holes, but I will get another pair of cosmetic threads (not holes) a small distance away. I cannot select them or do anything with them. These are existing taps that I am having problems with, when I put in new taps, they do not have shadows. I opened the base on two other systems, both with different video cards, and the same problem is there. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Nvidia Quadaro FX 3000 with driver off of SW.
RE: Crazy Cosmetic Threads
Can you measure approximately whether the large cosmetic diameters are 25.4 or 2.54 larger than they should be?

RE: Crazy Cosmetic Threads
2nd issue - I agree with CBL - Are the video card certified along with the drivers you are using?

RE: Crazy Cosmetic Threads
As for the large cosmetic thread, I have never measured it to see if it is 25.4 the correct size, but next time it happens I will do that.
