NX6 Buttress Thread

[jerry1423]

I added a buttress thread to a model.
In the view on the drawing I toggled the view preference to show the thread as detailed, instead of symbolic.
When I did that the thread did not at all look like a buttress thread, but a normal UNC style thread.

Did I do something wrong here?

In previous version of NX weren't we able to add custom specifications to a thread? such as odd pitches and things like that?

What you're seeing in the Drawing is based on what the various drafting standards support and there is no graphical support for anything other then normal 'Sharp V-threads'.
