Summary
In the illustration, the cylinder was created using a center point (1), a point
on the radius (2), and a point for the height (3). The base of the cylinder is
always on a plane parallel with the workplane. You can control the smoothness
of curved 3D solids, such as a cylinder, in a shaded or hidden visual style with
the FACETRES system variable.
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 (page 255)/2P (page 256)/Ttr
(page 256)/Elliptical (page 256)]: Specify a center point or enter an option
Specify base radius or [
Diameter (page 256)] <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.
