Thread flip button missing

[Anonymous]

So I am working and a screw part and I notice that I need threading at the bottom of the screw. However it only lets me do it on the upper part. When I look it up, people say to use the "flip" button located next to the "full length" check box. For some reason I don't have that option? Please tell me how I can flip it. Thanks!

Yeah, that button would be helpful.  But the quick way to change ends without it is to click the Face selection button again and re-select the face, this time picking toward the other end.

When you initially use the Thread tool uncheck the Full Length box before you select the face; then you will see the preview of which end the thread will start from before you make the pick.
