I have a better idea! Why not select the cube (as u mentioned) and make it's LRA (local rotation axis) on! then select the cylinder and press "v" and snap it to the LRA of the cube!

@frozenfire7200 thanks for your reply...i needed a mel script, to use it on my ik/fk automation switch...

@frozenfire7200 hi, this is only an example about 'how to do that with a mel script'...then you can use it in other scripts, withouth user actions...

If you want to snap the objects using the script but not have the point constraint remain - you can add this (changing the variables to $parent and $child):

select $parent;

select -add -hi c$child;

select -d $child;

pointConstraint -remove;
