RE: RefAxis
SE has no function for it; a ref axis for a cylinder is implied but can't be created manually.

RE: RefAxis
Tools-Show All-Toggle Axes then select the cylindrical face you want a Ref Axis for.
RE: RefAxis
Has anyone else ?
What would you use it for ?

RE: RefAxis
Some of them I know are....
-While creating top-down assembly, using other part cylinder center ref.
-to create ref planes passing through it
RE: RefAxis
Has anyone else?"
In the past I didn't use them because I could not figure out how to turn them on. Instead I would create a sketch in the part. Now that I know how to activate Ref Axes I use them more often.

RE: RefAxis
there never arose a situation where I would have needed them

RE: RefAxis
It may be good idea to create sketch, how do you constraint it to center of cylinder?
And the way you show in your earlier post (show ref-axis), doesn't work.
RE: RefAxis
Make sure you are selecting the correct commands. DO NOT use Tools-Show All-Reference Axes. Instead use Tools-Show All-Toggle Axes. Then click on a cylindrical surface. If ouu do it correctly a Ref Axes feature should appear in the Feature Pathfinder.
