Measuring a cone requires a minimum of seven points. When taking points, it is important to keep the axis of the stylus as near normal to the surface as possible.

To create a cone:

1. Select Home tab > Execute panel > Delay.
2. Create a geometric group to hold the new items to be measured.
3. Select Home tab > Mouse Context panel > Wireframe Checker.
4. To create 3D items using the Wireframe Checker, you must change its pick mode. To do this, right-click in the CAD view, and then select Surface from the context menu.
5. In the CAD view, move the cursor over the cone to be measured. When the cone is highlighted in yellow, click the left mouse button. For example:

   

   The details of the cone are displayed in the Geometry Explorer tab.

6. Click Accept .

   The cone is added to the inspection sequence.
