threads on an inner diameter

Hello,
I am trying to put threads on the inside of a shaft that is .5" on the OD.
The thread is 3/8" X 16.
I use the hole wizard but it just puts the major and minor diameter of the thread.
Is there a way to get it to show the actual threads.

Other posts reveal that the way to do OD threads is to spiral a protrusion. I am wondering if there is an easier way

Thanks,
 
Can you use a cosmetic thread? First you cut a 3/8 holeinto the shaft end and then add a cosmetic thread.
