How to identify threaded hole

Hello.

Here is my dilemma.  I have a part in Fusion 360 which was imported into the program.  This part includes a number of threaded holes and a couple of interior and exterior threaded areas.  I need to purchase screws for the part but I don't know the diameter and TPI of these holes, or whether they are SAE or metric.  The are all different and I was wondering whether Fusion 360 can identify the thread count and diameter of these for me.  I was hoping that by highlighting the holes and threads a pop-up window would come up and give me the details of the hole, but if there is such am feature, I have not found it. The "Inspect" tab would be the logical place for such a measuring plug-in.  Any ideas on how I can identify these threaded holes so I can purchase screws for them?

 

Many thanks.

Here's one rather tedious way to do it:

 

 

 

Notes:

This was for a 6mmX1 thread. 

There are quite a few online resources that will give you the major and minor diameters for inside and outside threads.

I used a 3 point circle in order to get the major diameter.
