Comments

• Incident Diagnosis:
  Axis of a drafted surface is not selected while
  constraining because of the priority of selection. In
  drafted surface draft is selected and hence axis is
  not highlighted. However concentricity constraint
  creation is created with drafted cylinder.
  Correct Application:
  Existing priories for selection can not be changed.
  For selection of axis, selection filter should be used.
  Selection filter makes the choice for selecting what
  user want to select.
