PressPull a Corner Hole

[Anonymous]

In my extruded plate with flanges, when the sheety makes the plate and prepares for the flanges, the sheety will drill a relief hole in the corner cut out. For the 0.040" thick sheet, the sheety would use a 9/64" drill bit for instance.

On the Autocad drawing attached , the remnants of the hole would be in the corner with 90 degrees of the hole missing, having gone with the piece the sheety cut away.

To show this on the drawing, I have attempted to create a 9/64" hole, presspull to the thickness of the plate and then tried to Subtract it out by first selecting the plate and then the presspull hole.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

It may work with an arc. I haven't tried that. A circle is easier to draw.

Can you help with a solution please.

Thank you.

As mentioned above, PRESSPULL will only perform Boolean ADD / SUBTRACT if a region can be found on the face/surface of the solid. You can PRESSPULL the circle into a cylinder, but you'd have to perform a separate SUBTRACT operation to achieve your intended result.   Here's an example using some simpler geometry.
