How to create holes and objects by pressing and pulling.
For best results, set your drawing to an isometric view before doing a press or pull operation.

Create a circle or other closed shape on the surface of a 3D solid object.
Click Home tab > Modeling panel > Presspull.
Click inside the closed shape or object and drag the cursor towards the interior of the 3D solid object to create the hole.
Create a Solid Object by Pulling a Closed Object
Click Home tab > Modeling panel > Presspull.
Click a closed object such as a circle or spline and move the cursor to establish an extrusion direction.
Enter a value or click in the drawing area to indicate the height of the extrusion.
Pull a Bounded Area to Create a 3D Solid
Click Home tab > Modeling panel > Presspull.
Click any closed area that is bounded by coplanar objects or edges.
Drag the mouse to establish an extrusion direction.
Enter a value or click in the drawing area to indicate the extrusion distance.
Press or Pull Multiple Areas or Objects
Objects used for a multiple press or pull operation must all support the same type of behavior (extrusion or offset). The distance is calculated from the last object you select.
