how to create conic radius?
(OP)
How do I create a conic feature in sketcher? I need to make a radius'd corner using a conic instead of a round blend. The shape is basically a tall rectangle, with one side having a slight arc. When I try to constrain the conic in the sketch (tangent to the arc and line and coincident to the same arc and line), the sketch turns either yellow or red. The same happens when I try to place dimensions.

However, I will offer up a "plan B". Would it work to make the corner sharp, perform the extrude (or revolve, sweep, whatever) then use the face blend to apply a conic section blend?

That was easy...

If you are familiar with Bridge Curve, then just use the numerical values in a similar manner for the conic Face Blend.

It took us several days of trial and error to figure this out. UGS were no help whatsoever - all they could suggest was to create the sketch minus any conics and then use bridge curve to create the conics afterwards. That approach is OK if you know beforehand exactly what shape you want, but in our business where we want to be able to manipulate the shape in sketcher and see how small changes will affect the appearance of our products it's just not workable.
