I save bodies from multibody part (Base-part with holes + cosmetic threads) as separate parts (Part-1, Part-2 etc).
But there are no cosmetic threads around holes in the new parts (Part-1, Part-2 etc).
Is it problem with SW or I did something wrong?

It's not necessarily a problem with SolidWorks, and it's not necessarily something you did wrong. I assume you're right-clicking on the body in the Solid Bodies folder and choosing "Insert into new part...". When you save a body in that way only the body itself is transferred to the new part. No other features (plane, axis, cosmetic thread, etc) are included.
