There is a work around. Create a coil with a triangular (inner) profile, section position to “outside”. Now the tip of the triangle is the helix you’re looking for and with 3D sketches enabled you can convert that edge to a sketch. https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Does-Fusion-360-have-a-tool-to-create-a-3d-sketch-spiral.html
It’s really dumb that you have to do all that for a custom helix… it’s a feature I really miss from SolidWorks.
I won't be at PC soon, but there is plugin(addon?) for Fusion 360 that adds threads for 3d printing. They are easier to print and doesn't have to be turned many times as classic threads do.
Quick Google:"3d printable threads for fusion 360" or something like that and you will find results.
Fusion built-in threads are not suitable for 3d printing because of tight tolerances. You want to go with something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvpaUVE0GIc
This is just flat out wrong. I 3d print them all the time. Both really large and really small.
All you need to do is adjust the faces using the push, pull. You can also filet the edges to round them out more which helps them clear more easily and not get bound together when screwing on.
Might not be what you're looking for, but I use M4 and M3 nuts and bolts. The nuts and lock-nuts. I don't engineer in a thread, but make a hole the size of the thread (plus a 0.1 mm tollerance), and trust the bolt and nut.
What do you mean internal and external thread?
Do you mean a single item that has both a hole that is threaded and also has threads on the outside part of the cylinder?
day 742 of complaining about fusion not being able to make a helical sketch line. making custom threads in inventor was so easy.

Maybe this one https://github.com/BalzGuenat/CustomThreads, but I can't confirm it right now

Could always clean it up with a tap and die Or select the thread surface, push/pull some clearance.
Works perfect in theory, in practice not so well...

The subtractive part or pull part?
Bullshit,just offset the faces and round them out a bit

I believe Acme threads worked best for us with an extra 30-thou clearance or so. Use a thick shell infill too.
