Cosmetic thread views in drawings
Cosmetic thread views in drawings
(OP)
I could have sworn this was possible, but I haven't been able to find the answer to the following question in the SW help file:
Is it possible to show the cosmetic threads of a tapped hole (using the hole wizard) in a solid models or in a drawing section view as actual thread (ie a true goemetric representation of the thread as opposed to the usual dashed line or circle that denotes the extent of the thread cut)? Thanks.

RE: Cosmetic thread views in drawings
If you made a true thread in a part (Sweep feature using a profile and a helix. No Hole Wizard.) then you could see the threads in the drawing.
You can only get the Cosmetic thread that is a dashed line in the drawing.

I just found this today, I think in SP4 they added the new checkbox in annotations - but left it unchecked.
