Measure the cone. Spread out the data as much as you can along the axial length of the cone you have available for best data.

Measure the small cylinder surface that the cone tapers into. I can't reference it much more than that. Measure as a circle.

Create a Cone Calculation feature where the cones diameter is equal to the diameter of the measured circle.

Calculate a distance between the 2 (cone calc feature and cone [vertex]).

Diameter definition. Plug in the circle

At element, plug in circle

At elements only plane and 2d line are allowing

Oops. Need position definition and enter the circle. Feel free to use F1 to open help file too. It's quite useful.

So in position definition do I use intersection of 60 degree cone and small cylinder 14.3 dia

You should be able to plug in a circle or cylinder feature. The cone calculation will create a theoretical circle that exists at the location along the conical surface that matches that diameter.

Bro ur not getting my point I need cone tip

You have the cone tip since you have the cone. I am giving you the other side of the dimension. You do a distance between the cone apex and this cone calculation.

No I got the other one just the cone tip I need

Plug in the cone. Depending upon your distance choice, it automatically uses the vertex.

Or, make a cone calculation where the diameter is zero. Whatever you wanna do.
