Benefits and Description
To control hidden line removal (HLR) for threads, set the drawing setup option hlr_for_threads. If the HLR setting for threads is turned on, the side and top views appear according to the view display style. To further refine the display for tapered threads, set the drawing setup option of thread_standard:
- ANSI—No change.
- ISO—Top views display a 270-degree arc of the thread, broken at the lower left.
- JIS—Incomplete threads are shown at the ends of threads on side views. Top views display a 270-degree arc of the thread, broken at the upper right.
- Tapered threads—Create these threads using the hole tool or cosmetic threads.
