When Taper Thread is selected you will be able to generate a taper to either a normal or a HiLo thread and you will be able to adjust the parameters that define the shape of the thread taper.
The parameters that enable you to change the Thread Taper are:
Taper Length - The length of the taper measured from the end of the thread. If the Taper Length exceeds the Thread Length a warning message will be generated.
Taper % - The value of the taper tip diameter expressed as a percentage of the thread diameter (range 0% to 100%).
