question from new user

zarrabian · 16th April 2006, 12:44 PM

I am a new user and trying to use this program to do some eng. designs. What I would like to know is if there is any way to subtract two shaes from each other. For example, If I have a cylinder and would like to have a hole through it in the shape of a smaller cylinder, is there any way to make the two cylinders and then cut one object from the other?

I am trying to make a cylinder shape that has several holes of different sizes through it. Is there an easy way to do this?
