Need help making a cone

[Anonymous]

Hi! I'm somewhat new to Inventor (2012 version) and I'm making a pencil shaped USB drive. I can't figure out how to make the pencil tip... Can anyone help me with an easy solution?

I've provided my assembly to show the USB in half it's form. The last stage would be the cone shape for the pencil tip to act as a protective cap.

#1 posting only the iam file is useless.. It only links to all associated files and does not include them in itself..

To properly post an inventor assembly you also need to include all the part files and any subassembly iam files also use in it..

For small assemblies just copy/zip up all the files

For larger assemblies you will want to look into using "Pack and Go" to create a zip file will everything in it..

But to answer your question..

A "cone" like the tip of a pencil is just a "revolve" feature. So draw a triangle sketch, finish sketch, click revolve and select the triangle as the profile and then an axis to rotate that triangle around to create a cone..

Like this.. the green line is part of the triangle that I picked to be the axis of rotation..
