To Create a Cylindrical Stock or Fixture

Note that cylinders can be created at any orientation.

  1. Select the Stock/Fixture (Geometry menu) command.  The dialog for the command now appears.

  2. Select the Type of object that you want to define (Stock or Fixture).

  3. Select the Shape of the object to be a Cylinder.

  4. Enter the Radius of the cylinder. If no radius value is specified you will be prompted to digitise a point for the radius after you have defined the axis of the cylinder.

  5. Click OK.

  6. You must now digitise two points to define the axis of the cylinder. Once you have made the two digitises, the cylinder is created.
