I'm a novice at SW.
I can make a profile (lets say a simple cylinder) and revolve it to a 3d solid. Generally, how do I drill a hole in the side of the cylinder (90 degrees to the profile)?
Thank you for your time.
If your profile is on the front plane (plane 1?, it's been a long time) then sketch another circle on the right plane. Then do a cut extrude.

Use the Hole Wizard. It will let you pick a point on any non-planar surface and make a hole perpendicular to the face at that point.

Take the profile plane (the plane the profile was drawn on and offset it, you create a new plane using 'insert-referance geomety-new plane' offset it the distance to the outside of the part, select the plane and 'insert features-hole'. Locate the hole to the position wanted... depth... all that jaz and, voila!
