Create a cosmetic internal tapered thread

Create a cosmetic internal tapered thread

Create a cosmetic internal tapered thread

(OP)
It took some working out but this is what I've done to create a cosmetic internal tapered thread:

Internal Tapered Threads:

1. Create a tapered hole to represent the minor diameter.
2. Create a tapered surface to represent the major diameter.
3. Create cosmetic sketch to represent the major diameter in plan view.
4. In the drawing hide the tapered surface in the plan view only.

I assume that something similar can be done for external tapered threads as well.

Hope this helps some people.

It is worth noting that the surface for the major diameter is complete but the cosmetic sketch in plan view is an arc as per standard draughting practices (BS 308).

Good tip!

You can take it one step further and make a User Defined Feature (UDF) out of this. If you designate the correct dimensions as variable, you can expedite the process of applying these callouts, if this is something you do on a regular basis.
