making cone with cylinder base

Now let's turn with beginner level again, simple way to make cone with subtract at the end with cylinder, now to make easier learning from this blog, i post include the dimension of the part that we'll make it.

the dimension is very simple, cylinder with cone, to drawing it in Unigraphics actually is divide in 2 part, cylinder and cone, you can make cone first then cylinder or cylinder first than cone, because the datum of X,Y,Z is located in cylinder, i prefer begin it from cylinder, because it more easy.

Ok, see the the dimension below


first time make the cylinder with height 30 and diameter 10
than make cone with base cylinder, height 15, base diameter 10 and half angle 10
