Schematic Internal Threads

Hello
I see the "External Thread" tool that allows to create schematic external threads by simply selecting a cylinder edge. I also see the "hole" tool with the "tapped" option.
What I am looking for is this: a tool that allows me to select the edge of a hollow cylinder and crate an schematic internal thread the same way as the external thread.
The "hole" function does not allow the same matching threads at large diameters. for example M70x2. It is also awkward to use, because I need to fill a hole in order to create an hole.
Is there a way to do this?

I see what's happening. The hole tool thread selection ends at 68-2.
There are some feature scrips that allow more options but you'll have to do a search through the previous posts. If you are unable to find then add your vote to previous enhancements requests.

I think you may have the feature sequence out.
Don't hollow the internal thread with an extrude.
The hole drill will provide drill size with ole tool.

I know that tool, however thread options for large threads are missing, and also the pitch options are incomplete. finally it does not define end of thread grooves that are neededd for the transition to precision surfaces.
