Tapered Cylinder

Hi, I'm new here and I'm also very new to AutoCAD. Here's my question:

 

How can you make a tapered cylinder? I need specific radii on both ends, with a specific height. Thanks!

Sounds like a sheetmetal layout(?).

 

Welcome to the forums jaypooner, where are you posting from?

 

Try looking through the library at http://www.thesheetmetalshop.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-198.html.

 

I'm sure more forum members will be logging on if they aren't shoveling the heavy, wet, white "stuff" (blizzard goin' on East Coast, USA).

 

Plan view looks like two [2] circles.

Elevation, two horizontal lines, two vertical lines.

Looks like a trapezoid.

Specify center point of base or [3P/2P/Ttr/Elliptical]:

Specify base radius or [Diameter] : (Specify Base Radius)

 

Specify height or [2Point/Axis endpoint/Top radius] : T

 

Specify top radius : (Specify Top Radius)

 

Specify height or [2Point/Axis endpoint] : (Specify Height)
