External thread on opposite side of part

[marshal.fitch]

In turning, is it possible to use an internal threading bar on the outside of a cylinder as well without rotating the tool?  I've got a part where I'm essentially making a nut and a bolt, using the same carbide bar, but at the moment I have to flip the bar over and run the spindle in reverse to do the "bolt".  I'd rather work on the opposite side of the part and run the spindle normally if that's possible?  

The part I'm working on is below.  I want to thread the outside of the cylinder with the same tool as the inside, so I'd need to work on the opposite side of the part than normal.

Doing work below center is not supported at this time, at least in the UI. It may be possible to "fake it" with certain post processors and Turret assignments (think along the lines of a Swiss machine or other similar "gang tooling"). You'd have to orient the tool as if you were working on the correct side of the part, for Fusion to give you its blessing.

dang, that's what I was afraid of.  I'll probably just add a second tool once I go to production, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to.

Just to clarify my last comment; there is a Preview flag that does allow for roughing and finishing on the negative side, but it's not yet been opened up to other operations such as Thread.
