subtraction/extrusion of a part on a solid

[Pasinato Daniela]

Hello, everyone!
I have the need to go and take one part to another to get a third. Is it possible? with what function?
in practice having part1 (p.2+p.3) and p.2 I have to get p.3=(p.1-p.2)

I would like to avoid having to redesign the whole part.....

Can you help me?
Thank you very much

f1 > creation of parts or derivative assemblies

put your parts in a set and derive it you can have a part consisting of the sum, the subtraction or the intersection of those parts.

You can do +/- the same thing in the environment part with the command "unisci".:smile:

without passing by the axieme and the derivative.
part 1 = extrusion 1 (or revolution or...cmq a solid modeling)
part 2 = nb creates new solid then in modeling mask choose the last icon below
command: join and empty for full. attention if you want to keep "the tool" bisgona click the flag at the first command otherwise it will not be possible. once you run the command if you need the tool can be remitted visible.

existing command in vs 2011
