Displaying Threads in ISO View

[gbradley]

How do you display the Threads in ISO views on Inventor?

I see that when you use the thread tool you get nice looking threads in the Modeled view.

Hidden lines come across in the drawing view OK.

I would sometimes sweep a thread in MDT in order to get an ISO view where the Threads will show up.

Is there a thread Bitmap that you can overlay?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Shade the drawing view or Sweep cut the threads.

Thanks !!!!

That looks much better.

Can I lighten up the Shade?

Change the color in the ipt will change the shade in the idw.

Thanks, JD

I ended up Sweep cutting the threads because the shaded views won't export to DXF.
