Syntax
CYLINDER $W $N $N < /SHELL $N > < /LAYER $N >
Description
Creates a cylinder of specified length and radius as an enclosed volume or a partial cylinder of specified rotational angle as a shell surface.
The cylinder is created at the global origin with its central longitudinal axis oriented along the positive z axis. Unless a layer number is specified, the cylinder will be stored on the current layer.
