Did you mean: 

cylinder along axes or layer normal to axes

cylinder along axes or layer normal to axes

I miss a function: 
I draw an axes that is not horizontal or vertical and now I want to draw a cylinder along this axes. 
How do I come to a layer to draw it? Wouldn't it be fine to directly draw the cylinder on the axes?

I found a function to get a layer normal to a path or axes, so I can draw the cylinder on it. But it is not good translated in german, for it means "along path" instead of "normal to path".  It should not be the word "entlang" but better "lotrecht zu" oder "normal zu".  And the symbol of the function also is not good so beginners will not easely find it. It should look like this:

Thank you! I allready found out, but as I described the irritation was just a bad use of words. It shoud be named plane normal to path. And the symbol is also not good. Mine is better.
