    Other than a sentence or two under "cosmetic threads" I can't find anything
    in the help file regarding external threads and their creation. Can someone
    direct me in the right direction.

    Hey,

    I don't do this. I simply add a cosmetic thread.

    Reaper.

    I agree...I would never go through the trouble of actually modling threads
    for a nut, bolt, or tapped hole. Sometimes though I'll have a special part
    that I think rates actual threads. More often than not it impresses the
    customer and makes them less likely to question my hourly rates;o).
