Hello.
How do I get the NPT selection to my outer pipe thread see attachment

Hello
NTPs are not straight pipes or you have selected straight pipes try with the other choice.
for the record "The threaded part of an NPT tube shrinks slightly, with an angle of 1.7899 degrees. Why this angle dimension, too precise and weird and well in fact, if we made a very long thread, then, we would see that the diameter of the pipe decreases by 3/4 inch per foot of pipe length. This is what determines the angle
Kind regards

Hello, thank you for your answer
but I don't have the NPT option and I want to have it. I only have mechanical thread and thread for straight pipe I only have 2 options
Hello
NPT stands for National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) and not NTP as I wrote by mistake.
Moreover, I can't find the information you ask for but what surprises me is that you use the "thread representation" function instead of the "thread" function.
Another point you have to check that you have this type of net on your computer, it's here.

Otherwise you can configure it yourself , see how Scott McFadden does it !

I must say that I couldn't tell you much more.
Kind regards
Thank you very much for the answer.
The reason we use the thread representation is that it's much lighter
OK but I have the impression that the thread representation offers less possibility than the other but you're right about the weight if it's important to you.
Kind regards

It's mainly that the threading function creates a real thread in the model, which, unless there is a special need (like 3D printing, molding), is not useful and does not allow to have the conventional representation in the drawing...
