create (real) thread in part
(OP)
Hello Guys!
What is the best way to create real threads?
I did it(for now) with a triangle sketch(simulating the cutting tool tip) and the coil feature, but i'm not sure this is the best approach.
Thanks a bunch!

But if you must a profile/coil is what everyone does.
There is also a thread modeler plugin that works well on the autodesk labs site.

Might be true for very large threads, but for smaller threads once you back out far enough to see an assembly - can't tell the difference between cosmetic and real.
So two valid situations - large threads and close enough to actually see the difference for customer and second situation - RP models.
The OP needs to continue discussion with response on actual design intent. As it is - the question for this thread was "create real threads".
