Positioning cylindrical 3D geometry tangent to other 3D geometry is difficult and time consuming. Presently I position my 3D geometry using 2D profiles, since tangency is simple using points in the 2D world. Can there be an additional tangency command added for 3D positioning? To define a line of tangency, perhaps it would be the command string <pick source face>::<pick target face>::<pick source point 1>::<pick target point 1>::<pick source point 2>::<pick target point 2>, etc. This request may be an enhancement or related to the post about cam followers. IMHO, this enhancement would be huge.
