MichaelBrenden Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Make a solid box. Draw a circle on one surface. Extrude that circle "thru" the box, from side to side. SUBTRACT the extruded cylinder from the box solid. AutoCAD gives a box with a hole "knocked out". Now, EXPLODE that box w/ a hole knocked out. AutoCAD gives a bunch of regions (representing edges of box) and a cylindrical "surface". How can these surfaces and regions be put back together again into a single solid, equivalent to the original? AutoCAD 2011...yeah! Still awful, so awful, when trying to make it do something obtuse that should be so intuitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) I guess I had nothing better to do so I took up your little challenge and was able to recreate the box with the hole in it without a problem. After exploding the box I erased everything I did not need and used the PressPull command on the remaining region. What's so difficult about that?

ReMark Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Re: previous image. Lower left. Solid box with circle ready to be extruded. Next. Solid box with extruded circle subtracted. Next. Exploded box. I erase everything that is black in color and use PressPull to extrude the remainder. Upper right. End result is solid box with hole.
