CYL4
CYL4, XCENTER, YCENTER, RAD1, THETA1, RAD2, THETA2, DEPTH
Creates a circular area or cylindrical volume anywhere on the
working plane.
XCENTER,YCENTERWorking plane X and Y coordinates of the center of the circle or cylinder.
RAD1,RAD2Inner and outer radii (either order) of the circle or cylinder. A value of zero or blank for either
RAD1orRAD2, or the same value for bothRAD1andRAD2, defines a solid circle or cylinder.THETA1,THETA2Starting and ending angles (either order) of the circle or faces of the cylinder. Used for creating a partial annulus or partial cylinder. The sector begins at the algebraically smaller angle, extends in a positive angular direction, and ends at the larger angle. The starting angle defaults to 0° and the ending angle defaults to 360°. See the Modeling and Meshing Guide for an illustration.
DEPTHThe perpendicular distance (either positive or negative based on the working plane Z direction) from the working plane representing the depth of the cylinder. If
DEPTH= 0 (default), a circular area is created on the working plane.
Notes
Defines a circular area anywhere on the working plane or a cylindrical volume with one face anywhere on the working plane. For a solid cylinder of 360°, the top and bottom faces will be circular (each area defined with four lines) and they will be connected with two surface areas (each spanning 180°). See the CYL5, PCIRC, and CYLIND commands for alternate ways to create circles and cylinders.
When working with a model imported from an IGES file (DEFAULT import
option), you must provide a value for DEPTH or
the command will be ignored.
