New FeatureScript: Cosmetic Threads

Hello Everyone,
I'm releasing my first FeatureScript!
Now you can create Cosmetic Threads in Part Studios:
These threads are two helix edges which were created with sweep and split commands.
Features:
Only works with cylinders and cones!
The ends of the selected surfaces have to be circles!
Here is the link:

Now you can create Cosmetic Threads in Part Studios:
These threads are two helix edges which were created with sweep and split commands.
Features:
- Specify the pitch and the direction of the thread!
- Shows in Part-Studios, Assembly and Drawing Tab!
- Much faster than a real 3D thread!
- You can set a custom name for the thread (for example: "M12x1.75 - 6g")
- Change pitch, direction and thread name with configurations!
Only works with cylinders and cones!
The ends of the selected surfaces have to be circles!

Nice!

Thanks, I hope you like it!
The trick is to use two helix surfaces to cut the cylinder:
I have not used the code you created, but I used the idea of the two helix to split the face.
Here is a video where you can see how it works and possibly get some ideas.

I'm glad I could help with the idea of using two helix surfaces Nice improvements!
How do you set attributes in FeatureScript is there an easy example?
Does that mean that you can use the Hole Callout command in drawings?
You can take a look in the std document at the Hole feature hole.fs and the holeAttribute.fs https://cad.onshape.com/documents/12312312345abcabcabcdeff/w/a855e4161c814f2e9ab3698a/e/5fcf48cb66a061fc3b60a0a3

Thank you
We can not share that FeatureScript. Many of our FeatureScripts and libraries are exclusive to our Onshape customers.
I just can share that video so you can see how it works and possibly get some ideas, and give some feedback of a few improvements you can add to the original FS (or a new one, as I mentioned before I have not used the code of the Sebastian FS)

I also made a tool for external threads and the option to switch between 2D and 3D threads:
