Assembly Feature Question

[tamechdev]

I am trying to create a threaded hole in an assembly/weldment and am having a minor issue. I create the standard hole using the hole command and select the depth as through all. When I go to the shape command the thru thread radio button is greyed out. Is there an options command that needs setting or am I doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. We are using Wildfire 2.
Thanks

tamechdev,
Below is from PTC TPI#13386 maybe it'll be "fixed in the next release"

Description:
-----------------
If a standard hole is created as an assembly level feature and defined as #Thru All then the #Thru Thread option is greyed out.

Alternate Technique:
-----------------
See Resolution below.

Resolution:
-----------------
This is current functionality, Thru Thread will not be available if the hole type is Thru All in assembly mode. The thread feature can be created using a Cosmetic Thread feature.
