Onshape doesn't support external threads. And the internal threads can't be dimensioned correctly.
But there are different ways how to do it.
A: You can "cut" the simplified lines into the part. But you have to be careful to not cut the part in multiple pieces.
B: You can also use the featurescripts I wrote:

I made an example document for you with both methods:
