Cylinders and Sequences - Bug?

Hi everyone,

I tryed to build my on coordinate system in 3D view. The scaling marks on the axes sould bw displayed as cylinders. I tried to build a sequence of cylinders for the marks on the x-axis. The result can be seen in the uploaded file. The code I used was

CylinderX=Sequence[Cylinder[(i,0,0)-(h,0,0),(i,0,0)+(h,0,0),r],i,-2,4]

CylinderY=Sequence[Cylinder[(0,i,0)-(0,h,0),(0,i,0)+(0,h,0),r],i,-2,4]

CylinderZ=Sequence[Cylinder[(0,0,i)-(0,0,h),(0,0,i)+(0,0,h),r],i,-2,4]

where h is the length of the cylinders, r the radius.

x-axis: It seems, that the y-coordinate of the centers of the faces are set to same value as the x-value.

y-axis: It seems, that the z-coordinate of the centers of the faces are set to same value as the y-value except for the sign, depending on the face (top or bottom).

z-axis: works as intended

Is this a bug or a feature? :)

Greetings,

Oli
