Is there a cosmetic thread table that can be edited

[Ronan]

Is there a table stored somewhere in SW that can be edited for cosmetic threads (not the hole wizard ones).
Currently the standard callout for say M5 is "M5 machine threads". I would like M5 x 0.8 x 10 deep or M5 x 0.8 Thru. Or along a bar M5 x 0.8x 15 Long.
I know I can manually edit them on an individual basis.

Well, in a design table, you can have the callout be whatever you want.

Yeah....so apparently they don't mean callouts at the drawing level (at least in SW 2018 anyway) because that didn't work.

As for any other type of callout, I cannot figure out how to display them. The closest that I can get is to display the Minor diameter.....not the callout.

So, that whole help area seems worthless.

Sorry about that.

Edit: See comment below.

OK....just discovered something.

This only applies when you set the standard to "none"

Then you can apply whatever callout you want and THEN you can configure it as well using the above method. And it works in drawings, I can attest.

Thanks, mmm I do edit that section of the cosmetic thread when I need too.
