taper angle removed from sweep command?

Hello, 

 

I was trying to use the sweep command, and noticed that is missing the taper angled option. Did they remove it in the last update? see attached picture  

 

 

Does anyone have an alternative method. 

 

Thanks 

David

What happens if you set Perpendicular rather than Parallel?

Is your Profile perpendicular to your Path?

Do you want a "squashed" result?

More information is needed.

Can you include image of an existing real world design that is similar to your design?

It's because you have the orientation set to parallel, you need it set to perpendicular.

Edit. I see @TheCADWhisperer  already hinted at that.

Even with a line and circle that are perpendicular it will not give the tapered option if set to parallel!
