missing conical surface icon

missing conical surface icon

missing conical surface icon

(OP)
well, I'm facing this issue with Creo/Proe5
the help file says that there is this command:
"create conical surface"
http://www.kxcad.net/proe/restyle/to_create_a_conical_surface.htm

whilst, AS USUAL, I can't find it.

Obviously (note the sarcastic tone) this command was already in ProE w3, according to its help file, but I couldn't find it at the time, too.

So after three hours of frustration and nerve crisis I feel the right to think that doing interfaces and help files so badly is just criminal, an utter disregard towards users' health.

Is there anyone willing to point out the right solution?
I'm considering to hire a private detective to find the missing button.

well, meanwhile I have found the solution and willing to share with anyone who's going mad with this phantom conical surface button.
The good man who wrote the help file did not mention that it is nested into the following path:

Menu: Insert/Restyle

a new menu item named "Restyle" itself appears in the menu bar, and the Restyle toolbar appears on the right side

From the menu bar:
Restyle/Analytical_Sufaces/Cone

From the toolbar:
the icon is amongst those on the third line

Wow! I'm ready for the next Treasury Hunt!
