I use AutoCAD 2002, and what I believe you will want to do in CAD 02 is extrude a circle of desired diameter to desired height, and then create a negative cylinder the size of the hole that you want in the original cylinder, then array the negative around the original at 45 degrees increments. Then you can subtract the negatives from the original and have holes in the original cylinder.

*sarcasm* That's just my opinion, not like I do CAD just for the fun of it or anything. */sarcasm*
