Hello,
I've started using Catia quite recently. I've made a part that I would like to dimension in 2D drafting, but the holes that I have made are not showing on the side of my part. They're supposed to be 0.5'' holes, but it looks like they're just on the surface because I see no depth when looking at it from the front or the right view.

Can anyone help me? I would appreciate any help!

Thank you!

Eric's post will be your solution.

Additionally, you have 3 Front views, make one view from 3d then project new views from that view. Your views will then be aligned and have more appropriate names.
 
Thank you very much!! Saved me a lot of headache.
 
@rickyt,
Unfortunately, I believe I drew my top view on the wrong plane or something because it ends up labeling it as a front view instead. Is there any way I can change the planes so that it thinks that my 'front view' is actually my top view and so on? Sorry if I sound confusing..
