Making a Hook in Inventor 2012

[stevep80]

Have made a hook for a engine hoist but there seems to be some difficulty in making the body more in the shape of a hook. Does anyone know how to achieve this????

All that is missing is the fillet to the edges or am I missing something? Looks like a hook to me just add the fillet.

I've tried that it wont let me add the fillet to it.

Did you search on hook here?

Seems like I've answered this question here in some detail a while back.

I noticed that your Sketch1 is not constrained or even dimensioned.

I recommend that you start here http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf

I added a fillet and it worked fine, reduce the size of the fillet and as JD said it is always best to constrain and dimensions sketches.

here's my next attempt so far with this hook.
