subtract volumes between products

[Teopado89]

Good evening to all,
I have a mold already made with products and parts.
the cooling circuit is obtained by means of holes in the matrix and in the punch.

to get to the flight the solid 3d of the cooling circuit I thought to create a new volume that surrounds the mold, and make new volume less the current mold, so the difference between the volumes should be the circuit at least.

the problem is that the boolean operations command can only make it work with the parts, with the products does not go.
Can anyone help me? Please
or other strategies? Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

try first to make an allcatpart of your catproduct. Maybe later you can create the negative

hello thank you so much for your straight, I managed to get a part file with all the cooling system.Since you've been so good, I'd like to ask you something else:
is there a way (starting from a catpart file similar to that of the image) to quickly get the axis of each tube, so you can then project these axes (or lines) on a plane and extract them in a table 2d?
I basically need to do a 2d cooling circuit sketch.

If you create a view with the appropriate projection, go with the right tato on the properties of the view and activate the option project axes. should work
