I have just loaded 2004 when I draw a Shaded cosmetic thread

I have clicked Tools, Options, Document Properties, Annotations Display. Under Display filter, and selected Shaded cosmetic threads.
I received a file from another user with the cosmic thread showing on his computer, but it still fails to shown on mine.
Any idears would be very much appreciated.

It might be a graphics card issue, what are you running?

Thanks for your quick reply.
Iam using  Radeon 7000 64M Video Card

RE: cosmic thread display

Don't forget when changing the video card settings, go to the video card preferences, advanced, and change the settings to use with SolidWorks.

RE: cosmic thread display

If that option is available. There are some cards that don't support that ability. There maybe some drivers that do support that and also support your card at the same time.

FAQ731-376
When in doubt, always check the help

RE: cosmic thread display

True, but always good idea to check.
We just got some new pc's, SolidWorks started crashing. I checked the video card and changed the setting to use with SW. So far has fixed the problem. The IS dept does not understand, I just do it (learned it from SW web site).

RE: cosmic thread display

jimp178,

You could also try the 'Use software OpenGL' option in SWX.
Note: you cannot have any documents open to change this option.
