Best way to show visual threads in a drawing view.

    I would like to show threads in a drawing view, but "cosmetic threads"
    dont cut it for visual purposes. Modeling a thread (helix or
    rotated/patterned) takes to much time, and bogs down an assembly if
    not suppressed.

    What I find effective, but takes time to draw is a series of parrallel
    lines drawing at the end of the pipe, like threads drawn in the old
    days.

    Does anyone have a macro that can do this easily?

    Does anyone have any other suggestions/tips that you would like to
    share.
