### Constructing a Projected Sphere

A sphere can be constructed by projecting any feature into the current working plane. PC-DMIS will project the point where the plane intersects the point. If there is only one input feature, the projection will be to the work plane. You should input the desired diameter when projecting a feature into the working plane; otherwise PC-DMIS will use the probes' diameter.

To construct a Projected Sphere:

1. Access the Construct Sphere dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Sphere).

2. Select the Projection option.

3. Select either one or two features. The first feature can be of any type. The second feature must be a plane.

4. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:
