Good over view of Alibre's hole tool, it should be noted that the holes created with it will have their corresponding callouts available when creating drawings for the parts. Also, while it may be nice to actually model threads in parts that may be 3D printed, or for special threads that will be machined, or just for viewing them, you likely won't see them when added to a drawing unless you create a close up detail view for machining purposes. For standard threads all that is needed is a call out on the drawing and the shop will produce the correct thread.
Hey great work with this video! I have a libre expert as well and have had it since 2006. But I can say for certain that most if not all CAD systems today gives the user option of cosmetic thread versus actual thread. With the processing speed and the graphic cards and the memory RAM chips today all are able to handle it. I.e. Solidworks inventor fusion 360 solid edge are some to name a few that all have the option of having actual threads over cosmetic. Keep up the good work!
Well, you made something out of nothing with that Hole video... lol. Sorry, bad pun. But it was a great video and a useful overview of the Hole Tool options. Thanks man!

Thanks for the additions- these are great points for people to know.

can you make a demo video with multi parts for for example the prusa xl. for example a part with an inlay made of tpu ?
I wish this was available in the Atom version... :(
