SolidWorks Drawings

(OP)
I have a question about SolidWorks cosmetic threads.  I remember prior to SW2009, if you had a cosmetic thread in a part and inserted the part into a drawing, the lines representing the cosmetic thread would take the "color" defined by "Annotations, Imported" in "System Options".

Now with 2009/2011 it seems the cosmetic thread always import as "BLACK" and the only way to change them is to select each line separately (there could be 100's in an assembly drawing) and move to a different drawing layer and change the color there.

Does anyone know how to globally change cosmetic thread colors in drawings?  Or have them automatically set to match a "system option" color like they did in the past?  Or define a layer just the cosmetic threads that will automatically pick that layer?
