Has anyone had any luck getting the hole note to call out threads per an ansi standard?

I add a cosmetic thread with a note, but I am not happy with it.
Our shop got confused by the way a tapped hole is drawn by the wizard, so I put in a hole for the tap drill and add a cosmetic thread with the text I want to see.
I also edit the data files for the holes to simplify the text entry in the feature tree.

Seems like an awful lot of work for something that should be automatic. You already put the information into the drawing when you select the hole. Solidworks should be able to pull that information and format it into an ANSI standard threaded hole callout.
