I would like for the drawing environment to be WAY more robust. I need to be able to annotate drawings using the ASME or ISO standard. I've pretty much hit a wall with fusion's current capabilities, and will have to annotate in a different program.
@Anonymous,i truly hope that "modern startups" will consider conforming to engineering standards when making threads, atleast to avoid a headache at somepoint 🙂 none the less, Fusion360 needs features like this, that makes communicating with manufacturing professionals possible, in order to be a fully fledged competitor to other CAD programs. Fusion is really close but is lacking tiny features here and there like this one.
The great thing about being a «modern startup» is that you can just manifest parts out of thin air and you don't need to work with manufacturers to get things fabricated or assembled.
*condescending tone* Well, Scott, that's what we have a desktop printer for... prototypes. Then we can send our CAD files to Shenzhen Metal and Plastic Co Ltd Inc and they will make our product. I just need to find a quality inspector first...
Currently, cosmetic threads don't appear in drawing views, but we are currently working on it. Hopefully you should see it around the February\March 2016 timeframe if all goes to plan. When it arrives, it will include ISO and ASME standard representations for internal and external cosmetic threads as discribed by @jkelindberg.
Please note, this enhancement won't change how modelled threads appear in drawing views. To apply the same representation to modelled threads is a much larger project.
Hope this helps.

Regarding modeled threads, if you had a simple global switch that could be turned on and off for the model it could allow for quickly changing back and forth. The problem that could arise from this is if someone is trying to derive sketch geometry from the modeled thread. but if it is built up with layers under the hood it could allow for projections to refer to the hole layer rather than the modeled threading layer (i have a feeling this layerd feature thing is already happening for modeled threads in some fashion). That would allow a thread feature to easily project the minor and major diameters of the thread to whatever sketch plane it's being projected to and would alow them to dynamicly update in the event that the tread diameter and pitch are changed.
Depending on if it is and OD or ID thread could one of them could also be set to construction geometry by default.
This really is something that should be considered and tackled sooner than later to avoid major headaches for the development team later on in development. As well as providing legacy support of current models in future versions.
