This is the difference between the two types of cosmetic threads:

1. Cosmetic thread is the annotation that shows up in a 20 drawing to

indicate a thread needs to be made.

2. Shaded cosmetic thread is a texture added to the holes to give the 30

model the appearance of a thread and it's only for visual effects.

This is the finished %"-20 Tapped Hole with cosmetic threads.

2.47. -After making the Tapped hole, we suddenly realize that the walls of the

'Housing' need to be thinner, and we need to make a change to our design. To do

this, we find the feature that we want to modify in the FeatureManager ('Top Cut'

in our case) or in the graphics area and select it. From the pop-up tool bar, select

the "Edit Sketch" icon. This will allow us to go back to the original sketch and make

changes to it. Notice the selected feature is highlighted in the screen.

Keep in mind that there is no real purpose to this dimensional change but to

show the reader how to modify an existing feature's sketch if needed. When

editing a sketch, its dimensions, geometry, and geometric relations can be

changed, removed, etc. as needed.
