Cosmetic Thread in Part but not Assembly??
Cosmetic Thread in Part but not Assembly??
(OP)
Hi all.
I have cosmetic threads in some parts that are not displayed in assembly mode.
I created a part "in context" in the assembly with cosmetic threads and the threads are shown in this part?
What's the deal?

RE: Cosmetic Thread in Part but not Assembly??
Is there a way around this? Can I create a custom section without losing these threads?
Thanks
RE: Cosmetic Thread in Part but not Assembly??
Can you post images (see FAQ559-1100) before and after the custom section?

By custom section I merely mean that some parts are cut down the center plane and some parts are not cut. Otherwise I would simply use the section command which would leave the threads intact

In the the Assembly Drawing in the Insert Model Items turn everything off but, for the Cosmetic Threads. Set the Layer to "None" and select the green check mark. Cosmetic Threads are not shown in Assemblies but in the Drawings you get to appear. Hope this helps. Cheers.
