- 5 PTS allows you to create a conic based on positions
- for five points on the conic.
-
- Indicate the start point of the conic, using a Position

-
- Indicate the second point of the conic, using a Position
- Menu option.
-
- Indicate the third point of the conic, using a Position
- Menu option.
-
- Indicate a fourth point of the conic, using a Position
- Menu option.
-

- If a conic cannot be created, an error message is
- displayed. You are prompted to press <Enter> and to
- redefine the conic,beginning with the position of the
- start point.
-
- In 2-D construction mode, the indicated points are
- projected to the current construction plane. The conic
- is created in the current construction view, at the depth
- that is active when the endpoint is defined.
-
- In 3-D construction mode, the conic is created in the
- plane that is defined by the first three indicated points.
- The fourth and fifth points are projected to this plane.
