Taper autocad

If you select a valid baseline when AutoCAD Mechanical prompts you to, AutoCAD Mechanical automatically aligns the reference line of taper symbols to the baseline, so that they are parallel to each other.

If you did not pick a baseline, you can align the reference line manually, and pick the appropriate symbol from a list, after you place the symbol in the drawing area. AutoCAD Mechanical allows you to pick special characters from a drop-down list the degree symbol, for example and insert it as part of the dimension text.

You can optionally show the dimension text as a theoretically exact value. Automatic slope calculation is available only at the time you create a symbol. AutoCAD Mechanical displays the calculated value by default but you can overwrite it. And how do i extrude from a small dia to a large dia? Message 2 of Start extrude command and follow the command line p for path t for taper enter taper percent select path Or hit F1 and enter extrude and follow instructions.

To go from small to large enter a negative taper. From large to small enter a positive taper. Works here. Message 9 of F1 brings up help??? And in a help it only tells you what you can do not what you can't do A useful technique for modeling a complex 3D curved solid is to first create a surface and then convert it to a 3D solid by thickening it. If you select a mesh face to thicken, you can choose to convert the mesh object to a solid or surface before completing the operation.
