Both 2D and 3D drilled holes are available. The 3D drilled hole is a solid object that can be subtracted from any other solid object to create accurate 3D models of molds, dies, and many other machine parts (see Subtract Solids).
To insert a drilled hole:
Click the Hole - Drilled tool or Hole - Drilled - 3D tool from the Detailing tool set.
Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the rotation.
The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
