It's relatively easy, but I haven't drawn a sphere in months (since CAD II class last school year) so forgive me if my instructions are wrong.
1. Draw a circle 7 inches in diameter.
2. Draw a line straight through the center of the circle vertically.
3. Trim one half of the circle.
4. Get out of sketch mode (finish sketch). I'm assuming you were in sketch mode previously.
5. Find the command called revolve. Click on it.
6. Highlight the remaining half of the circle, and choose to revolve 360 degrees around the vertical line as your axis. Revolve to a full extent.
7. Click OK and that should do it, you will have a sphere.
I was trying to load inventor up while doing this to create better instructions, but the video card screwed up. So if I got any of this wrong, I will edit.
