Creating Custom Cosmetic Threads
A custom cosmetic thread is a thread that is saved as a group. You can create custom threads for normal and nonnormal (profile) surfaces. To create a custom cosmetic thread, create a User-Defined feature (UDF) and store it in a custom directory. The default custom cosmetic threads directory <loadpoint>/intudfs/threads contains predefined external and internal custom cosmetic threads.
• To enable the creation of cosmetic threads as UDFs, set the configuration file option allow_udf_style_cosm_threads to yes.
• To avoid the loss of data, back up the custom cosmetic thread directory before updating an installation.
• Parameters assigned to the cosmetic thread are saved with the UDF.
• To include thread parameters in an assembly drawing, you must add the part that contains the thread to the drawing. In a drawing, select the cosmetic thread feature in the Model Tree, and click >
