### Constructing a Projected Cone

A cone can be constructed by projecting any feature onto a plane. If the projected input feature is not a cone, PC-DMIS will use default values for the included angle and two axis lengths. The first length is the distance between the vertex and the first circle. The second length is the distance between the two circles. If there is only one input, the projection will be to the current work plane.

To construct a Projected Cone:

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

2. Select the Projection option.

3. Select either one or two features. If one feature is selected, the feature can be of any type. If two features are selected, the first feature can be of any type. The second feature must be a plane.

4. Click the Create button.
