Making threads?

[Blackout]

I've been trying to figure out how to add threads to my parts in SW. I've read on the cosmetic threads in the help, but it isn't doing exactly want I am wanting. This is the first time I've had a need to create threads... so this is a test.

I've got a tube. I've got an end cap that screws into it. I have a simple cap, but any time I try to do the cosmetic thread annotation, it always puts the threads on the inside. I need to have the threads on the OD.

Additionally, I'm using the hole wizard to put a hole in the center of the cap, which is threaded. I've tried a number of the options, but after I do it I don't see any threads in the hole. I need them to be visible for PhotoWorks and nothing shows up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Blackout.





Attached is a SHCS I created. You can modify this one or use it to create or practice on a new part! Good luck!! I may have to try it again later as the website says they have an internal error. Let me know if the file posts.

There is a special setting in the options menu to view cosmetic threads, if you don't check this box you won't see the thread.
