Place on Workplane

In this Task 

A cylinder will be drawn on the Workplane using the center of the PCD.  The circle profile will be moved onto the Workplane using the Format > Place on Workplane feature.

Associated Tasks 

Inserting a cylinder.

Before you Start 

Place the Workplane on the face shown below. Use Workplane by Facet to do this.

Turn the view to either of the Isometric north views.

Take Note 

When placing objects from a parallel plane onto the Workplane, make sure the Toggle 2D/3D option is set to 3D.  Right click in the editor and select Toggle 2D/3Dto do this.

Place onWorkplane

Objects which reside in model space can be placed on the current Workplane using Format > Place on Workplane.The objects alignment will be adjusted in accordance with the Workplane.

Make sure the Workplane is seated on the face shown below.  Use either Workplane Origin or Workplane by Facet to do this. It is frequently difficult to seat a workplane at the base of an angled plane. If this is the case, seat the Workplane onto any parallel plane, then use Workplane Origin to seat the Workplane precisely on the required surface.

Select the circle profile which was used as the center for the small extrusions on the PCD, shown below, then use Workspace | Place on Workplane.

View the model from different viewpoints to check that the circle is seated on the Workplane, shown below.

CYLINDER :

Ribbon : Draw | Draw 3D | Cylinder

Default Menu : Draw | 3D Objects | 3D Primitives | Cylinder

Palette : 3D Model | 3D Object | Cylinder

This 3D object creates a cylindrical shape by defining the center of the base, the radius and the height.A solid shape without a circle sketch profile is produced when using the Cylinder tool, but a circle profile can be extruded to create the surface shape.A tapered extrusion shape can be applied by supplying a slope angle.The dimensional properties of both the solid cylindrical shape and the extruded arc can be modified using the Selection Info Palette.

Turn the view back to an Isometric view, then use the center of this circle profile to insert a cylinder Draw | Draw 3D | Cylinder with a radius of 29.5 and a height/depth of 250.

Remember to check the orientation of the User CS when inputting the height value.  In the illustration below, the Z direction, which represents the height/depth of the cylinder, is positive.
