The "Input Feature List" table indicates the type of cone that you can construct when you select the specified inputs and choose the Auto method. The order that you select the features is not important. If you select an incorrect input feature(s), PC-DMIS displays an error message and does not automatically construct the indicated feature type.
To allow PC-DMIS to automatically determine the best method of construction:
Open the Construct Cone dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Cone).
From the Method list, select the Auto option.
From the Feature list, select the desired feature or features based on the "Input Feature List" table below.
Select the In or Out option. For details, see the "In / Out Cone" topic in this documentation.
If you want to change the feature theoretical values, select the Feature theoreticals check box and type in the values. For details, see the "Specifying Feature Theoreticals" topic in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.
Click the Create button.
