    Hi all:

    I made part A, which contains a number of threaded holes. In the
    drawing for part A, the hole callout function works as expected,
    showing the quantity, tap drill dia. and depth, and tap size and depth.
    I made part B, mirrored from part A, making sure to check the cosmetic
    thread box for the mirror part feature. In the drawing for part B, the
    hole callout function only gets the tap drill dia. and depth. No
    quantity or tap information. Part B does have the cosmetic threads,
    and they do appear in the drawing for part B.

    So far, the only solution I've found is to manually edit each hole note
    with the additional information. But Solidworks warns that this breaks
    the parametric relationship between the holes and the callouts. I'd
    prefer to figure out how to get this working correctly. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    John.
