We have SW on a network here at work and recently changed sothat my computer was the primary computer. Ever since that change Ihave not been able to get cosmetic threads to show up in thedrawings.
When I draw a part and want to add a cosmetic thread I right clickon the surface where I want the thread, the appearance callout menuappears and I select the texture box next to the face option. Thisis the way I have always did this. The cosmetic threads show upfine on the part but if I want them to be on one of the views inthe demensional drawing they will not show up, even if I try toprint a copy of just the part the threads disappear.
The thing that appears to be different or I never noticed itbefore is in the appearance callout menu the fourth option is thepart number, I thought the box next to the part number under thecolor palette was always x'ed out, but now it shows a color hasbeen selected. I can change the color but I can't remove it so thebox is x'ed out, even by going to the color and optics menu andselecting remove all colors. Maybe that has nothing to do with myproblem and it's something I just never noticed before. Anotherclue may be I noticed when I go to the file index to look for apart and expand the views instead of looking by part number thecosmetic threads are not in the thumb nail view.
I have even opened an old drawing and tried to print it and thecosmetic threads did not show up, even though I have printed proofthey showed up before. And after doing that now the threads on thatold part no longer show up in the thumb nail view.
Anyway to me it seems like some "electronic switch" got flippedduring the computer switch and I just need to figure out how to getback to the original setting. Any idea's?
