Hole Creation Enhancement
Use the new option, Extend Start, on the Hole dialog box to extend the start face of a hole to the first place where there is no intersection with the target body.
The purpose of Extend Start is to remove a fragment resulting from the creation of the hole. If the result is not desired, deselect Extend Start to undue the result.
Extend Start is only available in the part environment.
