Cosmetic Threads Cosmetic threads describe the attributes of a specific hole so you need not add real threads to the model. The properties of cosmetic threads include: You can represent threads on a part, assembly, or drawing, and you can attach a thread callout note in drawings.
You can add cosmetic threads to conical holes. If the conical thread does not end at a flat face, it is trimmed by the curved face. A cosmetic thread differs from other annotations in that it is an absorbed feature of the item to which it is attached. For example, the cosmetic thread on a hole is in the FeatureManager design tree as Cosmetic Thread1 under the Hole feature, along with the sketches used to create the hole.
When the pointer is over a cosmetic thread, the pointer changes to include the cosmetic thread icon. Cosmetic threads in part documents are inserted automatically into drawing views.
A thread callout is also inserted if the drawing document is in ANSI standard. You insert thread callouts in the Cosmetic Thread PropertyManager, but they appear only in drawing documents.
In drawings, Insert Callout appears in the shortcut menu. If a cosmetic thread callout is defined in the part or assembly but is not displayed in the drawing, you can display the callout by selecting this menu item.
A leader attaches to the thread by default. The callout is a note. Call Innova Systems on or click here to send us an email.

How to fix it Read on to find out the possible cause and discover how to fix your Cosmetic Thread issues for good…. Check the Detailing page in the options The next place to check is the options menu.
Right Click on the Annotations folder The same options as above can be accessed by right clicking the annotations folder in the design tree. Once complete hit the green tick. Here is a breakdown of the options available that may be useful if you find that your Cosmetic Thread is missing.
When you add a tapped Hole Wizard feature in a part, you should see the cosmetic thread dashed line around the hole as shown in the figure below:. Then right-click on the Annotations folder in the Design Tree and choose Details. First ensure that the Cosmetic Threads are visible in the Part environment as per the section above. This will force all cosmetic threads in the assembly to show as solid lines, even if the parts were set to ANSI standard. What an arbitrary criteria for generating the thread size for a given hole!
Feel free to check this out on your own, try the 6, 8, and 11 mm hole sizes and see what threads that the Cosmetic Thread feature makes available. You will see that this range described described above holds true.
Now what if you create your Cosmetic Thread feature and it is not visible? There is a simple solution but not entirely intuitive. Finally, what if you would like to configure the part and need to configure the Cosmetic Thread feature? You may create a new configuration and change the Cosmetic Thread callout or configure it and that seems to work fine as long as you are changing it to an acceptable value, discussed above.
Or you can create an excel based design table.
