Cosmetic threads? Hiding threads in hidden line removed view

In the model below, I have the hidden lines turned off yet you can see the threads. Are these cosmetic threads and if so (or not), how do you turn them off off when just printing the model (not a drawing)?

Thanks, Dale

In the view display properties there is a setting for hiding quilts, which is what Cosmetic threads are.

This setting is not available in section views - there is a setting when creating the section to hide quilts when the section is made.

I am in WF5/Creo if that makes a difference. I do not see a setting for hiding quilts in View tab.

Hello Dale,

i would think creating a layer & adding the threads to it would be the best way to manage this. That way you can have them visible on your drawing but turned off in your part. Remember to change your drawing layer status to "ignore display status of model".

Acutally, I just was to do it temporarily for a quick print of the model for discussion. It confusses some when they don't understand what all the extra lines are.
