    External cosmetic threads

    I don't know why but if I have a hole that is threaded it shows up fine in a draft, but if I have an external thread it shows up fine in the model as a simplified thread but has no hidden lines in the draft showing the minor diameter, it just looks like a shaft.

    Cannot cut in Assembly

    I am running V20 and have no problem on most assemblies but for some reason I have one that will not allow me to cut any parts. Has anybody seen this or have any ideas for me?

    Microsoft Outlook .cfg file

    I am on V20 and every time I save an assembly file it creates a .cfg file that XP says is a microsoft office outlook file. Is there any way to turn that off so it does not always create this file?

    Problem with hole callout

    I work contract and they have a standard draft they use but for whatever reason my hole callouts show nothing but blank when I use them. I can take the same exact part and use one of the standard drafts and the callouts work fine. Does anyone know what I am missing.

    Adding parts to an existing assembly

    If I have parts open from different directories can I add them to an assembly without having to use the parts library to constantly switch to different directories? I would think if I already have them open I should be able to add by picking the window of the part I want to add.

    Cannot change values of exposed variables in custom properties

    Some of the variables I am trying to expose to show up in custom poroperties cannot be changed from the custom properties window, they are greyed out yet other ones that I expose can be changed just fine. I cannot find out the difference or if I can change the variable to not be greyed out...

    IF, THEN and Equals statements in variable formulas.

    Does anyone know if or how I can use statements to describe what a variables value should be? If v1 = xxx then v2 equals yyy, this is a very simple version of what I want to achieve.
