Combine Cut on revolved sketch not working.

Hi All,

I cannot cut a rectangular prism out of a shape that has been created with a revolve.

I am attempting to do it with Modify > Combine > Cut.

 

The problem is it doesn't leave a hole in my target object. I hope there is a simple reason.

Here is the finished product and although there is now a rectangle in the circular face, I cannot see through the hole I was trying to create.

What's the secret here? Please let me know.

Thanks very much

L

You have New Component selected so you will end up with the original body plus a new component with the rectangular hole.

I tried this so many times and gave up in the end. Much appreciated.
