Hello carlosban71, the way to place 3D solids and 2D objects ( like blocks for example ) is the same. I would ALIGN them from center to center in that case. In 3D you will indicate 3 "source" points and 3 "destination" points. Do indicate the 2 first points along the center lines so that your solid is perfectly in the correct orientation ( I call this "doing the hinge" ), this is important because sometime you ALIGN object thinking it will be OK if done with only 2 points but the result will not be correct. In any case take various viewpoints to verify the correctness. I think that it would be interresting for you to find curses and/or tutorials on the internet. Eventually you could take a look at my file : 3D SOLID 01.dwg that I have placed in the CAD/BIM Blocks library here in the site.

The ALIGN command is what you are looking for. A minimum of two source and destination points are required. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

 On the other hand and if the centerlines of the two solids are perfectly parrallel you can use a simple MOVE from center to center. I can see on the right side of the shaft a cylinder with an centerline offset that you will have eventually to ROTATE or ALIGN to place correctly.
