Customized External Cosmetic Thread Sizes

(OP)
Has anyone successfully added custom thread sizes for external threads to a SW database?

I've created new sizes in the HW database, but they are not showing up in the CT dropdown selection for shafts.

Never mind!

After multiple closing and re-opening of SW, and several reboots, SW finally decided to give in and show the new custom sizes in the dropdown list.

I guess, all I needed to do was send an email to my VAR asking them how to do it. As soon as I sent the email, the sizes appeared.

Looks like the file got afraid of being operated on cannon by your VAR
