#### Measuring a Cylinder

| Use the Cylinder icon to measure the diameter, cylindricity, and orientation of the axis of a cylinder oriented in space. The position of the baricenter of the points picked is also calculated.
To create a measured cylinder you must take a minimum of six hits on the cylinder. The points to be picked must be uniformly distributed over the surface. The first three points picked must lie on a plane perpendicular to the main axis.
Example Cylinder with eight points
See the "Basic Measurement Format for a Cylinder" topic for information on the associated Edit window command in the "Creating Measured Features" section.
