Show thread features in drawing view by default

[djohnson1976]

When you have a part with a thread feature, the default setting should show the thread feature in the drawing view...rather than making the user right click the view and select "Display Thread Feature". I don't understand why this doesn't show up in the drawing automatically...it is, after all, a feature on the part.

"Should show" and "you would like it on by default" are two different things. I agree that IV should at least make this configurable, i.e. set your IDW template to either show it or not show it by default though.

I'm going to go ahead and agree... I absolutely want threads shown by default, and am surprised at the notion that someone wouldn't want threads shown.  I suppose it could be problematic in a large assembly.  Anyway, yeah, there should be a way to set that default.  I'm in 2014... is there a way to accomplish this?  I see the comment suggesting to set it that way in your template, but I'm not sure how that can be done... my template doesn't have a view on it.  I mean, how could it?  Is there a way to drop a "blank" view?  What am I missing?

Put it here as a suggestion and then post a message in this forum decribing the idea, and ask for kudos on it.  AD really does look at all of these, and have already implemented a few when 2014 came out...

As for right now, I don't know of any way to set it as a default on all views, but I agree it would be nice to have the option.
