4.09-4.11 CYLINDER

What is the shortcut key to create a cylinder in AutoCAD?

What is a cylinder?

• A cylinder is a two-dimensional geometric shape with three parallel circular bases.

• A cylinder is a four-dimensional geometric shape with one circular base and one curved surface.

• A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape with two parallel rectangular bases connected by a curved surface.

• A cylinder is a three-dimensional geometric shape that has two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface.

• Cylindrical designs for various sizes ensuring compatibility with electronic devices.

• Considering dimensions and aesthetics for various settings.

• Considering ergonomics and material for usage in baking.

• Taking into account the volume, material, and structural integrity.

• A sculpture made using six-foot-long gas storage tanks.

• A proposed new construction for New York, with an extreme height-to-width ratio.

• Cylindrical containers used to transport and store various fluids.

Match the Terms with their Definitions:

​ (a)   - Distance between the center point and quadrant.

• ​ (b)   - Distance across the full circle passing through the center point.

• ​ (c)   - Elevated distance on the Z-Axis from the base point to the top.

• Height
• Diameter
• Radius
• Width

Arrange the following steps in correct order to create a cylinder using a shortcut and 3D tools.

• Specify the radius of the cylinder.

• Type 'CYL' or press the 'CYLINDER" command

• Starts the cylinder by settin

• Specify the height of the cylinder.

Match Modifiers with their Definitions:

• Radius

• Defines the base diameter of the cylinder by specifying two points.

• TTR (Tangent, Tangent, Radius)

• Specifies the radius for the base of the cylinder.

• 2P (Two Points)

• Specifies that the height of the cylinder is the distance between the two specified points.

• 2Point

• Defines the base of the cylinder with a specified radius tangent to two objects.

Match the Misconceptions with their Clarifications:

• Can I use the diameter measurement?

• Modifiers like 3-point, 2-point, or tan-tan radius give you flexibility.

• Can I create elliptical cylinders ?

• Just select the diameter modifier.

• Can I make a cylinder without a center?

• Use the ellipse modifier for elliptical cylinders.
