Re: Better thread representation in Modeling

Now (with version 18.1) that Creo Elements/Direct Modeling has added the ability to hatch (clipped) faces, I am reminded of some functionality that was available back in ME30 (for those that remember). ME30 had the ability to hatch faces. Some resourceful people used that to hatch faces that were threaded thereby providing a good representation of threads. They even had an interface that adjusted the hatch spacing to match the thread pitch.
