Viewing cosmetic thread...

I want to be able to see the cosmetic thread I create.

How do you enable viewing the cosmetic thread?
 
Yes that works thanks, but Id like to get it to show an aesthetic thread solely for visual puposes, like Inventor does for example.
 
Hi,


Proe doesnot do that.if you want the thread to be visible as a realtime thread then use helical sweep cut.But I would never do it unless I was a part of the fastner manufacturing company coz it consumes a lot of memory and will take more time for regeneration( when the number of components are more).

Ok, cheers.

Thats unfortunate, I dont think a fake thread for aesthetics would use much memory, ie just have a black/grey coloured striped surface which looks as if its a 3d thread. Much like inventor.

Thanks for the response mate...
