Drawing - Cosmetic Thread

In the screenshot the hole that can be seen with the hole callout was created with the hole tool , a counterbore and offset thread.

 

The .335" thru hole is 1.38" deep with the 3/8"-24 only tapping .8" deep.  The cosmetic thread is shown the full length not just the .8" as expected.

I do not see an issue when with the proper layout and callout of a cosmetic thread on my system.

I appreciate your feedback but your example does not truly reflect what I have modeled.  I believe if you add a cross drilled hole as I have you will see the difference.

I suppose there is a chance that if modeled in the opposite order for hole creation it may make a difference.  I have not had time to try that as it breaks other features in the model.
