    I can't seem to get cosmetic threads to show up in section views. Whether I
    section through the hole, or show it hidden, all I get is the tap drill to
    show, no threads. Anybody else seeing this, or know what I'm doing wrong?

    Iv'e always had a problem with this.....a little bit like trying to win on
    Lotto....but I must say it seems like it has improved a lot in SW
    2001...had'nt really had any problems since upgrading (knock on wood)

    You did not mention which version of SW you are using. I seem to
    remember dealing with this in sw2003 or earlier. Have you tried
    selecting the view then Insert->Model Items and selecting Cosmetic thread?

    System info:

    Software: Solidworks 2004 Sp.1
    Win XP Pro

    Hardware: Dell P4 1.9Ghz
    512MB ram
    Nvidia Geforce2 MX/MX400 64MB

    I've tried "Insert Model Geometry". I've tried "Show Hidden Edges". Nothing.

    Any other ideas?
