### Step 10: Construct New Features from Existing Features

PC-DMIS can create features by using other features. To do this:

1. Access the Construct Line dialog box by selecting Insert | Feature | Constructed | Line.

Construct Line dialog box

2. Using the mouse cursor, click on two circles (CIR2, CIR3) in the Graphics Display window (or select them from the list box of the Construct Line dialog box). Once the circles are selected, they will be highlighted.

3. Select the Auto option.

4. Select the 2D Line option.

5. Click the Create button.

PC-DMIS will create a line (LINE2) using the most effective construction method.

The line and feature ID will be displayed in the Graphics Display window and Edit window.
