It's possible but you need to use 3d modelling techniques to build your thread geometry, I've never needed to model a thread as I make parts not pictures ;-)
I been trying to put threads on a 3d drawing of a shaft in bobcad. I found a thread library but cant find out how to do this. I'm not using this for a lathe or milling operation, just trying to make a drawing of some inside and outside threads in bobcad for an .stl file. I have seen videos on other cad programs but not on bobcad. Any help would be great.
Thanks Gary

That sounds complicated beyond my knowledge of bobcad. I was thinking I just missed something because I seen a thread library and assumed some where I would enter the thread size and pitch and be done, just didn't know how to go about it. Bobcad seems like such a powerful cad program I would of thought it would be a copy and paste. I purchase a cnc plasma table in 2014 and bobcad is the cad program it came with , so that's what I been doing my 2D drawings on. I just got a 3D printer and seen I could save my drawings as .stl files so rather than learning a new cad program I that I would try using Bobcad for the 3D geometry also.
Well thank you very much for the how to explanation.
