How do I create custom threads in DesignSpark Mechanical?

In this episode from the DesignSpark Mechanical training video series, we create customized screw threads in DSM without a hole wizard.

We use sketch tools to define the thread profile in cross-sectional view, and then use the 'revolve helix' option in the PULL tool to carve out the thread from the inner wall of a hollow cylinder.
