NPT Hole Modeling

NPT Hole Modeling

Show npt holes correctly in the model and idw when using any of the modeling settings under document settings.

 

When using the tap drill modeling setting, the tap depth is correct but shows it as a straight hole not tapered.

When using the minor modeling setting, the holes show as a taper but on some holes sizes the thread depth isn't correct.

We typically like to use the tap drill option since that shows all the straight thread holes correctly, and that is what the holes are actually drilled out to when manufactured, but the npt tapered holes don't show up as tapered using that option.

 

Ideally it would be nice to be able to use the tap drill option and have the model place a taper at the correct depth and be able to use the bottom of that tapered geometry to constrain mating fittings at the correct wrench tight depth.

 

Tapered threaded holes should show correctly no mater which option is selected.
