thank you. Well I have this design with threads and bearings, but I can't represent it in a simplified way, or schematic drawing. So, I don't know if it's possible in a simple way... or make something else

Your threads will show up "properly" if the option shown is ticked.

Where are the bolts? Have you inserted them or do you have the visibilty turned off?  If you want them to be shown you'll need to put them in. (Turn their section participation off to get them to show as per your example)

I suggest you get the bearing/taper lock from the manufacturer so that it is drawn correctly.  For example, you will get all these parts from SKF.  However, you might also like to check CC first as they may be there also.

Welcome to the forums.

The bearing is as modelled. It's a simplified solid of waht could be an assy (outer/inner races, balls, seals, etc..). If you need to see all of the bearing iternals download an assy file of the bearing, or creat your own.

As for the holes threads, turn them on in the Drawing View/Display Options tab.

The control of whether Standard Parts are section is controlle dby 2 settings (I think), 1) in Tools/Application Options/Assembly tab/Section all parts, and 2) again in the Drawing View/Display Options tab/Section Standard Parts drop down. Select as Always.
