Joint origin on a cylinder shape

[javelin_exile]

Hi folks.

I'm working on some parts that fit together and the vender doesn't have models of the bits and pieces sop I was making something representative I could use in my design, I like it to look nice so this isn't really necessary but it seems like something I should know how to do and also know why it's not working the way I expect. I need to make a joint origin to make a joint with it in the part it fits. I did 3 in a row on one part, without really thinking, it just worked. and I don't know why I can't get it to work here on this next one. The first one works and I was able to get the joint orientation perpendicular to the axis. on the second one, I can't and everything seems the same.

Perpendicular origin preferredNot like this

Check the box to "Reorient" and then the handler will be displayed so that you can set the joint origin coplanar with the centerline axis.

I swear I tried that and selected the new axis for it and it didn't work. except it does so thank you!
