Using the Measure function to check thread specifications

I think it would be a nice feature if the Inspect command could also display the native Fusion Thread/Hole information.

 

I am using the Derive function to bring a Fusion designed component into a new file for use in the Manufacture environment. The designer used the Thread command in Fusion Design to assign threads to a handful of holes. Normally I can switch back to the Design window and check the feature timeline to see what threads they used. However when I Derive the component into a new file I can no longer search the timeline for that thread information.

 

Unless I'm missing something, I think the only way for me to know the thread size is to either open up the master file and find the thread feature in the timeline (what I'm trying to avoid since the file is massive), or looking up the minor diameters in a thread table (which works fine but is tedious).

 

If the Thread/Hole information were displayed in the Inspect window then it would also show data like thread fit class and what the specified thread depth is (the thread command changes the minor diameter of a hole all the way through and doesn't have any snap point to measure thread depth).

 

This would also help somewhat alleviate another issue I have where countersink angles are tedious to determine (though this would still be an issue for non-Fusion imported solids). I have a separate thread on that suggestion to measure countersink angles.
