Hi Guys/Gals,
I need to modify an existing standard part which we bought and the EXTRUDE CUT nor the Hole Wizard does not allow me to do so.
Basically, the part has a threaded hole of M6 with 12.5mm Pitch. But, I do need to modify and create a C'Bore for M5 with 30mm pitch up & down from the center of the thread. When I tried applying Extrude Cut it does not allow me to do so.
Is there a way to FORCE the Extrude Cut to do the cutting.

I did notice that when I went to use standard counterbore hole sizes that there was a "zero thickness geometry" problem. This is because the edge of one of the M5 counterbore holes was meeting perfectly the edge of one of the existing M6 holes. Thus I changed the counterbore diameters to be a little bigger than standard.
