    @dragon_chen_dragon are you asking how to display the threads of a tapped hole?  

    Or are you asking how to insert a screw or fastener?  

    To inser a fastener you can do a couple of things: 
    - Import a fastener into an assembly 
    - Model the fastener in your part studio 
    - Insert a fastener via standard content in an assembly.  

    To display the actual threads of a tapped hole you will need to model those with a helix sketch, thread profile and sweep.  
    Currently there isn’t an easier way to display internal threads.  
    If you use the hole tool to create the hole and threads, when you create a drawing you can use the hole callout tool to “display” the threads in a standard format.
