Visualizing threads on 3D models with Creo

Hello

 

in my past experience, designers have to make a compromised when designing a component with threads.

Either they will use the cosmetic thread functionality which allow to represent the thread in 2D very quickly and efficiently but in 3D, the sruface still remain very flat.

Or 3D features could be created on the 3D models showing the thread but when comes 2D, the drawing looks very bad....  In addition creating the thread in 3D add weight to the file.

So in an assembly with many components having threads you end up with a lot of data to download/upload.

 

Here is a screenshot from Inventor. It is just an image on the 3D model which is automatically placed when selecting thread. It does not add any weight to the file and it is understood as thread for the 2D drawing. When vizualizing the 3D model it is obvious that we have a thread here. It helps understanding the design.

What is PTC solution as I really do not see any improvement even with Creo 3.  The Intelligent Fastener seems to be only for standard hardwares.

 

Thanks

Best regards
