Here are a few solutions:
Just slap a chamfer on the hole... (i.e., the "old school" way)

    Michael, in general the hole tool in Wildfire is yet another 50%
    solution to a request of functionality by PTC. This tool is not worth
    the code it took to write it. Here is the short list of grips with it.

    Can not specify any kind of pipe thread. ie a tapered hole
    Forget about using the note that the system generates it is completely
    useless.
    I spent 80 hours making a UNC UNM UNF UNJ hole tables only to find out
    that the note function did not work.
    Does not support Helicoils

    I was told that the note functionality will not be fixed until build
    M0210 of Wildfire 2

    Until the user base expresses discontent with the half baked products we
    are being served nothing is going to change.
