To insert a conical compression spring:
Click the Conical Compression Spring tool from the Machine Components tool set.
Multiple compression spring tools share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out Tools list and select the desired tool.
Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the rotation. Conical compression springs have ends of unequal diameter. When you draw a spring, the first click defines the large end of the spring, and the second click defines the small end.
The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.
► Click to show/hide the parameters.
