how do you create class "A" threads on a pro-e model

In Pro/E you can either create cosmetic threads, or real ones using Create-->Cut-->Sweep

im4cad You are not running Wildfire
The New menue pics are...

Insert->Cosmetic->thread
or
Insert->Helical Sweep->Protrusion.

In both cases look up the data for the threads you will need it.

Right, I don't use Wildfire because I'm not so crazy about it

Sorry for not paying enough attention to the title

Use Cosmetic threads unless you have a need for actual modeled threads. The regen time when you have several parts in an assembly is just terrible. Even with a good computer. The only time I use real modeled threads is when I am going to do a SLA or some type of rapid prototyping. If it is just for drawings, use cosmetic threads, they do not look as good but in the long run they save valuable time and money.
