External pipe thread representation 1

[tluxon]

It is great to be able to create an internal pipe thread using the hole wizard, including the cosmetic thread representation. Am I missing something, or is there no equivalent for representing an external pipe thread?

Thanks,

In the part, select cosmetic thread, select O.D. Type dia.
Or, insert, annotations, cosmetic thd.

That did the trick. I didn't see anything that indicated that it was a cosmetic pipe thread and I didn't know SolidWorks was smart enough to know to follow a tapered surface from a simple edge. I guess it is!

Thanks,
