Showing cosmetic thread in drawing of assembly

How do I get the cosmetic thread on a part used in an assembly to show up in
a drawing of the assembly?

If I create a view of just the part, it displays the lines for the cosmetic
thread OK.
If I set the drawing view of the assembly to "shaded" it shows the shaded
representation of the thread, but it won't show the lines for the thread
when the view is in "hidden line" mode.

I'm on SWX2006sp5.1

You have to use the INSERT MODEL ITEMS and choose the cosmetic threads
on the assembly view to show the cosmetic threads

I mentioned a bug in this version of SolidWorks. First insert model
items as John wrote. If nothings happens load the used screws from the
toolbox separately (open part). In the feature manager of the screw you
can find the thread representation which may be suppresed. It need to be
actived. Then double click this representation and click of one of the
showed dimension in the 3d area. In the opened window hit the button
refresh. Now you can close the screw. The drawing should show all
threads of the screw correctly now. Unfortunately all other screws need
to be checked and adapted too...

I use the same version and the bug is also reproducable on other
computers...
