You can use a component to cut a section from another component in two ways.

  • Extrude a sketch profile from one component to cut through the second component.
  • Boolean cut an interfering volume of one component from another.

Extrude a sketch profile

  1. On one component, create a sketch to use for the cut.  Project the edges you want to extrude.

  1. Click Stop Sketch.
  2. Choose Create > Extrude.
  3. For Operation, choose Cut.
  4. For Objects to Cut, select only the component that you want to cut from.

 

Using an interfering volume for the cut

  1. Choose Modify > Combine.
  2. For Target Body, select the component you want to cut.
  3. For Tool Body, select the component that does the cutting.
  4. For Operation, choose Cut.
  5. If you want to keep the cutting component, select Keep Tools.
