Cylinder

3-D Standard > New > Solid primitive > Cylinder

This function enables you to create circular cylinders and cylinder segments. It also enables you to generate hollow cylinders.

Choose the Type of insertion: Either via preview or Via points (activate checkbox).

Then, enter the required parameters.

Type		Via preview	Via points
Solid body	Hollow Segment	Height Diameter	Diameter
Hollow body	Hollow Segment	Height Diameter Wall thickness (internal)	Diameter Wall thickness (internal)
Segment	Hollow Segment	Height Diameter Start and end angle	Diameter Start and end angle
Hollow segment	Hollow Segment	Height Diameter Wall thickness (internal) Start and end angle	Diameter Wall thickness (internal) Start and end angle

Enter the article number and specify, by activating or deactivating the relevant checkboxes, whether:

• the part is to be inserted as main part or sub-part of the active part,
• the part is to be referenced,
• a feature is to be created for the part, and
• the part is to be BOM-relevant.

 

If you have chosen the insertion type "via preview" (= Via points), specify the fitting position of the cylinder in the drawing. The fitting point is the centroid of the base surface.

If you have chosen the insertion type Via points , define the start and end points of the axis, e.g. Absolute (0,0,0) and (0,0,500).

Hollow cylinder: (1) Height, (2) Diameter, (3) Wall thickness, (4) Fitting point

In the case of negative entries for the height or the axis lengths, they are marked off in the direction of the corresponding negative axis.
