I have a shaft with two M3 taps at both ends, added by the hole wizard.
I don't have a clue why the drawing shows the tap as a simple hole. As far as I can see, the Cosmetic Thread is checked.

A very simplified version of my file with its drawing is attached.
Can anyone advice what I am doing wrong please and how I can make the drawing show the threads?

Thanks.

Use model items tool to import the threads. Files attached for your reference.

With an assembly file, cosmetic threads will never show up automatically. You have to use the INSERT MODEL ITEMS in the Annotation tab and select the cosmetic thread option in the annotations area of the feature manager. Not sure what your workflow is but this could be done in a part model and then the cosmetic threads would show up automatically.

Do you have this checked?

That was the first place I checked.

@gupta9665 I'm sorry. I don't know why I missed your reply. Thanks for your help.

@john@layketool.com Thanks for the lesson. First time to hear assembly files don't show the cosmetic threads automatically and should be imported manually.
