Missing way to define thread dimension format (when created out of hole feature)

Missing way to define thread dimension format (when created out of hole feature)

Inventor Drawing annotation (see enclosed idw file):
Issue 1:

Edit Hole Note dialogEdit Hole Note dialog

Thread created by Thread command does not offer any modification of thread description in a drawing.
For threads created using Hole command is available Edit Hole Note dialogue where it is possible to use thread parameters to adjust format of the thread dimension (parameters like <THRP><THDCD><THDPT><THRC><THRD><TDDIA><FST><FSZ><FIT>).
This dialog with parameters in red box are not accessible when dimensioning thread which is not part of hole feature.

Issue 2: Even for the Hole thread there is missing possibility to separately define thread direction. Thread direction is only available as part of parameter <THRC> where thread class is in most cases not valuable. It is already reported as second issue in the topic: separate LH thread information from thread class - ISO 15786 compliance - Autodesk Community

Thread dimensionsThread dimensions

Green box shows what is wanted format for left hand thread direction.
Red boxes show text which I now cannot omit if I want have LH symbol displayed for both hole and thread feature.

Issue 3: In the Style editor there is no option to format thread dimension style. It is available only for hole feature (with thread). Even for hole feature there is missing a way to define thread direction separately.

Inventor Model annotation (see enclosed ipt file):
Issue 1: When I have Thread created separately in a hole created by Hole command
I am unable to select this thread by using Hole / Thread Notes command.
It is always selecting the hole. So I am unable to dimension the thread.

Issue 2: The same as in drawing - no style definition for thread and no way
to modify dimension format for thread created outside of hole feature.
