XEDGE1, YEDGE1

Working plane X and Y coordinates of one end of the circle or cylinder face.

XEDGE2, YEDGE2

Working plane X and Y coordinates of the other end of the circle or cylinder face.

DEPTH

The 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 by specifying diameter end points. 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 CYL4, PCIRC, and CYLIND commands for alternate ways to create circles and cylinders.
