Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Sketch >> Top plane.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw a circle of 20mm dia.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Extrude it by 100mm.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Sketch >> Top face.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Draw a polygon with 17mm radii circle.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Extrude it by 10mm.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Sketch >> Right plane.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Take reference with the edges and draw a triangle.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Revolve it about the center axis with remove material.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Chamfer the lower edge with 45 x D (D=2.50).
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Insert >> Helical Sweep >> Cut.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Click Done.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Select Front plane.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Click Default.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Now draw a center line about the vertical axis.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Draw another line and spline tangent to it.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Exit the sketch. Now input the pitch value = 2.50.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Click OK and now draw the section. Draw a Iso triangle with 2.4mm at 3mm from axis.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    Exit the sketch and define the cut-side be inside of sketch.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Click OK and the feature is generated. We can see the thread ended in regular fashion.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    We have the bolt created.
