Cosmetic Thread Doesn't Appear in Part and Assembly

[lokkosdu]

I'm having troubles with the cosmetic thread, it doesn't appear in assembly nor in parts.
I've already tried to force solidworks to display this annotation in every possbile way (TOOLs -> OPTIONS, VIEWS, etc.).
What should I do?
Can anyone help me?

I know you said you had tried "every possible way", but just to be sure:

View > All Annotations?

In the FM tree, RMB Annotations > Display Annotations?

Tools > Options > Document Properties > Detailing > Annotations Display > Display Filter settings?


Have you recently upgraded SW version and or SP?
Did this work before the upgrade?
Did you upgrade the video card driver to suit?
Is your card suitable for SW?

 

[lokkosdu]

Yes.

The bold ways have all already been done.

SW I've updated to SW 2007 just in november / december.

SP. I'm using SP2.1 I'll upgrade to 2.2 as sooner as its possible.

Video card driver is in the most actual.

Yes it's suitable.

Thanks for the help!

and for answering in so short notice.

Did the cosmetic threads show before the upgrades?

By Cosmetic Threads, do you mean the dashed circle around the threaded surface, or the texture applied to the threaded surface?

 

[lokkosdu]

I'm meanning the texure applied.

And it worked after the installation of Sw 2007.

Add the cosmetic thread first. Then, change the face texture to threads and whatever scale you want. Sometimes I alo have to click on "edit feature" for the cosmetic threads first.
