Im using the hole wizard to try and put in a 1/8" grease fitting in. the only option for pipe thread is "straight Pipe Tapped hole" with a size of 1/8"-27 NPSM and Im looking for 1/8" PTF can anyone help me with this please.
Hole type strait tap
Standard Ansi Inch
Type Straight pipe tapped hole
size 1/8"-27 NPSM
Zach,
I too recently came across this problem but I didn't have to model the thread as it was more for a tooling purchase. From my research the only difference between the two is that the PTF is one thread shorter on the smaller end. The best option I can think of is to make a plane 1/27" (one thread) off of the part and then add the the NPT thread using the hole wizard.

I do not need to model the threads. I guess i was just wondering if there was another option some place for PTF threads not NPSM
The tapered pipe tap should be the middle option in the hole wizard (in 2015 anyways) see below. The straight pipe tap would be under the tapped hole option one to the left. You would just have to change the drop down from bottoming tapped hole to straight pipe tap.
***EDIT***
I failed to notice that you had PTF thread. Only option I could think of is to use the NPT thread and just put it on a plane 1/27" off the surface you are trying to add it to.
