Cosmetic Thread callout in drawings
Cosmetic Thread callout in drawings
(OP)
I am trying to denote a cosmetic thread I included on a rod I want to thread but there does not seem to be a way to call the thread out in the drawing. SolidWorks says that it is done by going into Insert-Model Items-Cosmetic Thread but there seems to be no cosmetic thread option in model items. Would anyone know where this would be?

Create a rod
The thread callout propagated automagically.'Insert annotations->cosmetic thread', define threads.
Save part
Create drawing from part
Ensure that 'Import Annotations' is selected under Options in the View Palette
Drag View onto sheet.

Are you looking for a thread notation similar to the Hole Callout?

If I remember right the problems was related to the type of thread, If I use ANSI it doesn't show but with ISO if would work or something like that. I don't have much time right now to investigate any further.
Please forgive me for the french version!

Can this problem has been corrected in newer version?

If you right-clcik on the dotted line in the side view, do you have a Insert Callout option?
RE: Cosmetic Thread callout in drawings
If I then open the part model, enter Edit Feature mode for the cosmetic thread and then select the green check mark without changing a thing, the callout option becomes available in the drawing.
... so I'm guessing it was a bug which has been fixed between 'SW0-SP5 & SW12-SP4
RE: Cosmetic Thread callout in drawings
I don't have the Insert Callout option you're describing so I won't be surprised that it was a bug that's been corrected.
