About External Thread Tool

When we use the "external thread" tool, we don't see the thread, is that normal?

Hi @alain, this is normal for the built in thread features. They place info into the part so that it can be used in the hole table and drawings to help note the threading.
If you would like a cosmetic thread, you can use @sebastian_glanzner's custom feature External thread - custom feature. One reason Onshape doesn't do this with the built in feature is that it is costly in regards to document performance if you have too many.
