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.

Enter the part name.Activate or deactivate the Reference, Feature and BOM-relevant checkboxes.

Now enter the required data.

Type		Preview	Points direct
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

If you have chosen the Preview mode, position the cylinder in the drawing. The fitting point is the centre of the base surface.

In the Points direct mode, 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.
