  Modification
  Draft Form provides two types of draft computation
  modes. Square and Cone. Both computation modes
  provide the same geometrical result if the neutral
  line is included in a plane normal to the draft plane.
  For all other geometrical contexts, you will have to
  decide to use one of these options. The choice of
  the option to set will be done empirically
  .
  Square: mathematically speaking, the result
  obtained is never exact but most of the time lets
  you create a satisfactory draft feature. We
  recommend not to use Square when the surface
  you want to draft is very long
  .
  Cone: the application uses envelops of cones
  defined along a given curve to generate draft
  features. When the use of Square does not
  guarantee that
  parts will be easily removed from their molds,
  Cone is the alternative option to be set.
  Mathematically speaking, the result obtained is
  always exact but sometimes produces twisted
  surfaces
  .
