Turning, Threading Insert Question

Recently the function to be able to use both ANSI and ISO tool codes for turning inserts was added to the turning portion of the tool library. I was wondering if the Fusion team has thought about adding Inch and Metric insert thread forms as well?

 

As it stands the threading tools only offer two forms to choose from ( ISO Triangular Full Form and ISO Rectangular) Leaving us no options for other thread profiles such as ACME or Trapezoidal while having very generic settings for the inserts we are trying to define.  Being able to define and On Edge, Acme, Trapezoidal, Multi Point Full Form and Cresting Inserts would be nice. It would be really nice and compliment the workwlfow that Fusion 360 is trying to establish, to give some love to one of the more integral functions of a lathe and furnish it's users some more options for a true visual representation of the tools we all have on our turrets.  @akash.kamoolkar  Is this something remotely on the radar of the team? There has been a few posts about it before.

Custom turning inserts are indeed on our horizon. Unfortunately I don't have an ETA on this development yet.
