Since we are now able to 3D Print very strong and high precision parts using technologies such as SLA resin printing and SLS nylon powder printing, isn't it time that Alibre add the option for physical threads in the hole tool like many other modern 3D CAD programs? I know there are ways to manually make threads in Alibre, but this is very time consuming. If a check-box were added to the hole tool that would toggle between visual threads and physical threads just by clicking a check-box, this would be a huge time-saver and a great feature that many other 3D CAD programs already have. It would also be nice to have an option to apply external threads to a round surface. I pay for support every year in hopes that this new feature will be added in the next release. 
I bought a program called SelfCAD just to get this feature, since it isn't available in Alibre, but I don't like jumping between programs.
