Not with manual way, is there any addon or perfect way that can make a M6 screw? Must be able to fit a 6x12 sign in landscape that will have two holes at the center point 0.30”/7.62 mm from the top and bottom with M6 screws. Any suggestion or help how it works.

There's an add-on that's included but not enabled called Bolt Factory that has an M6 preset:

Last Operator Adjust panel after adding a bolt showing the M6 setting

The problem is that its scale is off, but if you scale the screw by 1 / 1000 you'll get the correct scale.

  • $\begingroup$ You can choose. Underneath the dropdown there are other dropdowns for those. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 6, 2021 at 18:51

You can try BoltFactory add-on. It's native, you just have to enable it at Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Add Mesh: BoltFactory:

Once enabled, you can go to Add ⇧ Shift + A -> Mesh -> Bolt:

A window will pop on the left where you can customise the settings to create pretty much any kind of Bolt / Screw / Nut you want:
