We obtain the general cylindrically symmetric vacuum metric solution in the general relativity theory. We assume the same metric considered in a previous paper describing a translating source. We show that this metric is geometrically related to the vacuum field produced by a stationary cylindrical source. However, we find new physical properties, different from those of the Lewis vacuum solution
