During a drawing session, the default value for the base radius is always the
previously entered base radius value.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Specify center point of base or [“3P”/“2P”/“Ttr”/“Elliptical”]: Specify a center
point or enter an option
Specify base radius or [Diameter] <default>: Specify a base radius, or enter d to
specify a diameter, or press Enter to specify the default base radius value
Specify height or [“2Point”/“Axis endpoint”] <default>: Specify a height, enter
an option, or press Enter to specify the default height value
3P (Three Points)
Defines the base circumference and base plane of the cylinder by specifying
three points.
2Point Specifies that the height of the cylinder is the distance between the
two specified points.
Axis Endpoint Specifies the endpoint location for the cylinder axis. This
endpoint is the center point of the top face of the cylinder. The axis endpoint
can be located anywhere in 3D space. The axis endpoint defines the length
and orientation of the cylinder.
2P (Two Points)
Defines the base diameter of the cylinder by specifying two points.

TTR (Tangent, Tangent, Radius)
Defines the base of the cylinder with a specified radius tangent to two objects.
Sometimes more than one base matches the specified criteria. The program
draws the base of the specified radius whose tangent points are closest to the
selected points.
