Looking to specify NPT threads?

[sthompson]

I've come across this several times and have not found a correct way to specifiy a NPT thread (National Pipe Thread). In the past, due to time constraints I have simply placed a note on the drawing calling out the NPT thread. I would much prefer to create the hole as an actual NPT thread. ProE seems to only allow ISO, UNC, and UNF threads.


Any ideas or fixes?

PTC has never implemented tapered pipe threads in the cosmetic thread feature. You can fake it with an npt.hol file but it won't be tapered.
