I can't seem to get cosmetic threads to show up in section views. Whether I section through the hole, or show it hidden, all I get is the tap drill to show, no threads. Anybody else seeing this, or know what I'm doing wrong?

You did not mention which version of SW you are using. I seem to remember dealing with this in sw2003 or earlier. Have you tried selecting the view then Insert->Model Items and selecting Cosmetic thread?

I've tried "Insert Model Geometry". I've tried "Show Hidden Edges". Nothing.
Any other ideas?
