Hi folks. I have created a part with a number of holes in it. This part aligns with another, and I wish to extend the holes through the second part. Any idea how to do this?

If the hole is a blind hole, you can select the bottom of the hole and push it through farther. If it’s a through hole, use the project tool to project the diameter onto the adjacent part, then push that projection through.
