Weird cylinder bug

[tonberryhunter]

I've been experiencing a weird bug lately when creating a cylinder orientated over a holes center point.  Sometimes it doesn't happen sometimes it does.  I've had to completely alter my workflow around cylinder creation because of this bug.  Also don't give me a hard time for not using sketches (always).

If you use the Cylinder Primitive, you will always get better results if you square your view to the placement plane while selecting the Cylinder center and diameter snap point.  You can then change back to the isometric, or other view, to finish it off.  The Look At tool is ideal for this process.

I've tried that @jhackney1972 still isn't working for some reason.  This seems to be a new bug as I've never had this behavior before.  You can see the cylinder dialog or window is clearly broken as it ends up creating an extrude and never actually lets me confirm anything.  I'm not getting any error messages either.  Thanks for the quick response though.

@tonberryhunter - can you share this model?  I cannot reproduce this, and have never seen this before.  Pretty sure that nothing has changed in Cylinder in a long time.

As to not giving you a hard time about not using sketches, I assume you know that Cylinder is not associative.  If that hole that you pick moves, the Cylinder will NOT move with it.  That's why people say you should use sketch/extrude instead.  So, feel free to use Cylinder, but be aware of its limitations.
