Depiction of cosmetic tapered threads on drawings.

Depiction of cosmetic tapered threads on drawings.

Depiction of cosmetic tapered threads on drawings.

(OP)
Hi everyone,
We are having a problem with incorrect depiction of tapered threads on drawings.
The model has a conical form to match the thread (external), but on the drawing the thread appears to start the taper from the wrong end.
ie. instead of tapering out from the start towards the end of the thread, it tapers outwards from the end of the thread back towards the start.
SW2005, SP4.

Any ideas ?

Found the answer -  on the drawing view set cosmetic threads to draft quality.
