Hi all,
Let's say I have an application where I have to create a cosmetic thread as it is easy while doing assembly and it will also create the light assembly. And it will also give reference like if I want to create M8 threads what standard pitch are available. So please let me know how to that in onshape. I am not finding any feature in onshape capable of it.

Currently it is not yet possible to create cosmetic threads in Onshape You can vote this improvement request
https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/6857/external-cosmetic-thread
But in the meantime, you can create the thread following the example of this video

Another option is to simulate the thread with a helix

You can also just use the Thread Creator Custom Feature:
