How to transform a pad to thread ?

[idfx]

Hi !

Can You help me to find any option how to modify the hole in 3D design to thread ?

I want to make a centreline hole to be a M5 thread but not worried about details. Just want to have a right view in 3D view.

Hope You can help

Thank You !

There is no built-in support for threaded holes and rods in FreeCAD yet. However there are some community efforts in the direction.
Also check out Thread for Screw Tutorial on wiki.

Thanks a lot !

The way what boneshaker shows is good enough. Just needed to have "like a thread" shape in my design.
