Pick the end of the cylinder.

Command-line options
Direction constraint options	Direction constraints restrict the direction of the circle. None The center can be anywhere in 3-D space. Pick the second point anywhere using elevator mode, object snaps or other modeling aids. Vertical Draws an object perpendicular to the construction plane. Pick the center and a radius or diameter. AroundCurve Draws a circle perpendicular to a curve. Select a curve and pick the center of the circle on the curve and a radius or diameter.
Solid	Fills the base with a surface to form a closed solid.
AroundFaces VerticalFaces	AroundFaces (1) The number of faces around the circumference. VerticalFaces (2) The number of faces from the base to the apex.
