Todays 3D exercise is the following.
Simple one right!
Without further comments lets dive into it.
Step 1
Draw these two objects.

Step 2
Long story short, using the same technique that we used in previous exercises, we will EXTRUDE those object each
with its respective dimension, and place it in the design like shown in the figure below.
Step 3
Use the UNION command to unite them.
Using the UNION command
1. Command: UNION
2. Select objects: Select one of the two objects
3. Select objects: 1 found Select the other
4. Select objects: 1 found, 2 total
5. Hit ENTER

Step 4
Draw the reference line from centers of edges like shown below, and use this line to draw a circle at the center of the
face.
Step 5
Do the same on the other side and use the EXTRUDE command to extrude both circles to obtain cylinders. Make sure
your cylinders are longer than the whole object.

Step 6
Use the SUBTRACT command to subtract those cylinders from our object.
Step 7
The last thing to do is to use the FILLET command in 3D to have edges have a rounded shape. The FILLET command
is known and was used in past exercises. if you are not familiar with it, feel free to check this AutoCAD 3Dexercise.
Remember on this figure your need to use the FILLET command on each side. (on the right and left side of the object
we are designing)
