Internal threads - Identification

Dean_Gardner

There appears to be no way of telling what holes are threaded or just plain.  Is there a way onshape characterises internal threads generated with the hole tool?  Usually most CAD tools will either create curves (at the thread diameter) on the end face or a sheet through the part.  It doesn't seem that there is any way of distinguishing a threaded hole from a normal hole in onshape.  Have I missed something, as this seems fairly fundamental, hopefully it's just me.

For holes, you can view the hole table which helps somewhat, but overall I agree the experience is lacking.

I have seen in other software a default thread color is used for tap holes.

Even if you could toggle on and off for an actual thread - that would be awesome! I think having the option for actual threads and cosmetic threads (lower processor) alternative would be fantastic.  I know that other cad packages cut actual female threads - which i sometimes left on or 3D printing! It seemed to work a treat.  Also, great for design reviews and renderings - when non technicals are in the meeting.
