Same piece of plate I posted about only an hour ago....Can I move a hole
that has been placed for a window cutout or do I need to recreate the plate
and extrude another solid then subtract the two to get the new hole. I know
in MicroStation I can simply place a fence around the hole and then use
'manipulate fence contents' to drag the hole to a new location

Please help..

It really depends on how you are drawing the hole.
If it is a void in a solid, you'll have to fill it,
and then create a new one where you want it.

Plug the hole then make a new one.

If your plate is solid, then you can:

Modify -> Solids Editing -> Move faces

Selecting the right face is the tricky part if your model is complex.
You will (almost) always have to deselect some.
