Please add capability to align a cylinder or cone to a construction axis.

See this discussion:

Currently this alignment requires a fair amount of work. We currently can align a planar face to a construction plane; this would be similar, but for cylinders and cones to align to a construction axis.

This feature will save time when needing to align a cylinder to an arbitrary construction axis.

While not a blocker, the current method is awkward.
