How can I create a simple cone?

This tutorial requires:

DesignSpark Mechanical V6.0

To create a simple cone, you need to start off by drawing a circle with the diameter of one end of the cone.

1. Create the base

Here’s the base of the cone with a diameter of 15mm. Adjust it to your preference.

2. Pull in to a cone

Pull (P) the Circle to the height of the cone required

3. Pivot the edge

With the Pull tool selected, select the edge of the diameter to be reduced. A single Click on the diameter will also bring up the quick menu as shown below. Select the "Pivot Edge" tool which will change the pull arrow to show two arrows (radial and axial).

4. Diameter for the top of the cone

Select the radial arrow and pull to the new diameter
