Adding Threads to a Hole Feature

Hello all,

In MicroStation CONNECT (Update 15), how can I add a thread to a hole feature? I don't have the appropriate option in the tool settings (see image). Is it something added to Update 16 (since it mentions it in 16's help file online), or am I missing something somewhere?

Also, are there any other ways to add threads at all (e.g., to the outside of a revolved custom shape)?

Thanks!

Hopefully I did it right— I added an "idea" here: Adding Threads to Holes, Cylinders, | MicroStation Ideas Portal (aha.io) Thanks!

Deprecated Features

Feature Modeling and Dimension Driven Design

The introduction of new parametric modeling and constraint tools replaces the previous parametric system. Existing DGN files containing Feature Solids and Dimension Driven Design profiles continue to be supported, the editing tools for which may be found by opening the respective toolboxes.

This would include the Thread options on the Hole Feature tool.

I cannot see whether a thread option has been included on the equivalent Parametric Modelling tool.
