Hi 3D freaks, please help

OK, made a part and a mirrored from that. Using these two in the same
assembly and after a while make tapped holes for brakets etc. in the
first part, hoping it will update in the mirrored too. Only holes are
transferred - not the cosmetic threads.
I need the threads for showing on the drawing - can anyone help me out
on this?
Please don't suggest to mirror the latest verson and then use that
part instead - I have too many mates to think that's funny.

Thanks

All I have found to do is add the cosmetic thread manually. Select the edge
of the hole and `insert-annotation-cosmetic thread'. On a related note I
have noticed that the base part routine in SWX2003 allows one to include
cosmetic threads when inserting a base part into a new part.

If you are using 2003, this is easy.

Simply edit the definition the Mirrored feature (top feature) of the
mirrored part and select cosmetic threads. This is new to 2003.

Hope that helps..
