### Cone Measurement Commands

Tutor and PC-DMIS have different meanings for XYZ fields. Tutor views the XYZ fields as the vertex of the cone while PC-DMIS views the XYZ fields as the coordinates of the centroid of the first section circle, displayed in the THEO command. For Cone Measurements the WIDE keyword is ignored.

PC-DMIS THEO fields for cones are:

THEO/ XCoord, YCoord, ZCoord, I, J, K, Angle, Diameter1, Diameter2.

XCoord, YCoord and ZCoord are the coordinates of the centroid of the circle (section circle). Diameters1 and Diameter2 are not filled by the translator. Tutor Translator does not compute THEO values, but does insert HITS and calls the PC-DMIS automation command to compute the CONE values.
