Problems push/pulling a hole

[merlin7777777]

I have a flat rectangular block of 2mm depth by 20mm square.
I have drawn a circle on its surface and i want to make a hole through it by push/pullig the circle.
As i P/P the face of the circle, it will extrude above he surface but its behavior going through the block is erratic. it will seem to do nothing and then appear on the other side of the block. sometimes i get the error 'cant PP hrough a curved surface' (its not curved)and i don't get the message to say its in line with the opposite face - even if i enter the exact width numerically.

any ideas?

It sounds to me as if you either have the circle drawn outside a group or component. If so, the Push/Pull tool will extrude a cylinder but it won't create a hole because the plate, being in a group/component is protected from being modified. Delete the circle, open the plate g/c for editing and then draw the circle and push it through.
