How do I copy hole in 3-D solid?

    Hi guys,

    I drew a solid box and 'drilled' a hole by extruding a circle and subtracting it from the box. My question is whether there is a way to copy this hole to another position on the box. I tried COPY FACE command but the result was 'BODY' not a solid hole. I don't know how to convert this BODY to 3-D SOLID.

    Eventually I solved my issue by 3D MIRRORing the whole box on to itself and using INTERFERE because the other holes are in symmetrical positions. But I guess there may be an easier and more general way to copy holes in a solid.

    Any idea?

    MIRRORing only works if the holes are equidistant. Ijust continue builing cylinders until I have the necessary holes, THEN SUBTRACT them from the original solid.
