I have a Pallet that has (4) cones. There is a dimension from the bottom of the Pallet over an Ø85.000 MM gage ball. Is there a way to create the gage ball tangent to the cone?

I'm not sure you can construct the sphere directly but with some basic math (or a CAD system) you can figure out the diameter of the sphere at the theoretical tangency point and then construct that circle (I forget what the option is called but there is a specific tool for constructing a fixed diameter circle in a cone). Once you have that you can offset along the cone axis by the nominal distance between that diameter and the 85mm dia to get a point at the center of the theoretical sphere.
