(OP)
NX community,
Can you omit symbolic threads from the Reference Set?
I "thought" you could at some point (maybe in NX 3?) but I'm unable to do so now, even if I create the symbolic threads as a separate feature, using the stand-alone Thread command.
P.S. - I'm currently running on NX 10.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

That's thing though, I thought you could remove the symbolic threads (dashed arcs) too, however that doesn't seem to be the case anymore and it hasn't for several versions of NX now.
I've tested it a few ways, and used the 'Solid Body' type filter, but still it grabs the arcs, so now I'm not even sure if it was ever possible.
If you know of a way, please advise.

We did have for very many years the issue that the threads did not copy to wave links, ( ~opposite issue) but that is solved since a few releases back.

I personally don't see a real need to do this but I'm on the board, so to speak, for creating a new NX Best Practices document and someone else had mentioned the need to omit dashed arcs from the Reference Set so it doesn't create confusion in assembly drawings??
This has never been an issue for me...
Besides, we employ the Master Model method here, which means all of our drawings are technically NX assemblies (even piece parts), and certainly we want to see the threads on the prints.
I replied by letting everyone know that isn't even possible, ha, but now I want to make sure I was right in saying this because honestly thought you could do this once upon a time, whether right or wrong, but I've noticed that hasn't been the case for a while.
At least, not that I'm aware (I've been on NX 3, 5, 7.5, 8.5, 9, 10).
Besides running various hands on tests, I looked into Modeling Preferences, Customer Defaults etc., and I still couldn't find a setting to change the results.

You're right Cowski, you can remove basically anything using View Dependent Edit - though that would be a significant pain with large assemblies that have a bunch of sub-level threads.
Petulf, I agree it would be nice to have a separate filter for symbolic thread arcs.
Thanks everybody,

You can make the same change in the Drafting Preferences, and any added view from that point would be without threads too.
Thanks again!
