Can someone also tell me what exactly is a cosmetic thread used for? On Inventor it puts in what looks like a thread but is just an image but it makes it very clear that the hole is tapped or cylinder is threaded. Is this option not available on SW?

I'm having a problem with the internal ID of a part. When I open an assembly, it says one of the parts does not match the internal ID saved with the referencing document.

Hi, I'm designing a type of funnel for attaching to a drum. The funnel needs to be made from ultem (PEI PolyEtherImide) so that when it is attached to an barrel, the level can be read when it is full (as Ultem is opaque). I just want to find out is there a minimum thickness I should make the...
Hi, I've a question about standard views in an assembly. I've created drawings of an assembly but in te assemby file I've changed the standard views (I don't know how I managed to do it). So for example when I want to look at the front of the part, I click on the front view but it's not looking...

I'm looking for some quick disconnect couplings made from plastic. They can't have any metal in the flow path, eg. no springs. I have found some on Colder.com but I need to get 2 sets which won't interchange with each other.
For example, one set will have a 3/4" hose tail and the other set...
