Cosmetic thread on layer

[kenppy]

I'm aware of a number of ways of working with cosmetic threads but would like to add this to the mix. I have a layer that catches all the cosmetic features including the individually created cosmetic thread but does not capture the threads created with tapped holes. What is the rule for this?

thanks

Add another rule, change the operator to AND in the Query Builder section of the Rule Editor, and searchfor NOTE.

I think Igave the wrong rule previously. I think the rule you want to add is a Feature with the Attributes Rule of Type and Criteria Has Quilts or Has Thread. In the Query Builder use the OR Operator.

kdem, thanks that works but what a pain!

Spoke too soon, it works as far as capturing the cosmetic threads BUT i don't want it to take any other quilts, how do I exclude them?
thanks

Trying it again you just need one rule that looks by Feature, Attributes Rule of Type, and Criteria Has Thread.

I think it's working as it should be now.
created surfaces are captured here:
