How can I get tapped holes to look like tapped holes in my drawings?



Thanks, Joseph

If by "look like tapped holes in my drawing" you mean the standard schematic representation of a thread on an engineering drawing, then either use a Hole Wizard hole and pick the tapped hole option, or manually model a hole and then add a cosmetic thread (in the Insert/Annotations menu).

In hole wizard, select the cosmetic thread option on your taps (center icon under options - shows a dashed line for threads). If the threads don't automatically appear on your drawing, go to "Insert: Model Items" in the menus and select the cosmetic thread icon.
