Solid Edge Threaded Hole Visibility Issue in Assembly File in Solid Edge

A customer reported an issue where a threaded hole is visible when painting an object in the part file but not visible when painting the object from the assembly file in Solid Edge.

Detailed Description:

1. When painting an object in the part file, the threaded hole is visible with its specific style.

2. When painting the same object in the assembly file, the threaded hole is not visible with its specific style.

3. The customer asked if this is the correct behavior.

This is the expected behavior due to how Solid Edge handles styles in part files versus assembly files:

1. Part File:

• Each face of a part can have a different style.

• The thread feature is displayed with a specific thread face style, distinct from other face styles.

2. Assembly File:

• Under View > Color Manager, the option "Show and allow assembly style overrides" is enabled.

• When this option is enabled, applying a style to a part in the assembly applies it to all faces of the part, including the threaded face.

• Different styles cannot be applied to individual faces within the assembly.

Steps to Revert to Default Part Styles in Assembly:

1. Go to the assembly file.

2. Navigate to View > Color Manager.

3. Disable the option "Show and allow assembly style overrides."

This action will revert the assembly to display the default styles as defined in the part file, making the threaded hole visible with its specific style.

Additional Information:

There is an existing enhancement request (ER) for the functionality to apply different styles to individual faces in the assembly. Please submit a new Support Case to be attached to the master ER for tracking and consideration in future updates.
