OD threads

You could use the helix feature, you would have to use some drafting techniques to calculate your thread pitch and all that stuff, but it works. I have used it numerous times becuase I model a lot of bolts and screws.
 
First create the OD the length and diameter that you want, then go to "annotations" and there you will find the threads that you can apply to the feature you have created.
 
Both ways work great. One is "functional" and takes a bit of memory, the other is a visual.





Good luck,
