how to subtract

[dinapapa]

Hello there!



I' m trying to find how to subtract one part from an other in pro
engineer. I want to subtract an irregular shape from a cylinder
to make a hole. How can i do it?



Thanks, dina.

Are they separate parts (models)?


If they are, put them in an assembly to perfom the edit>merge (cut-out).


Another method is to copy the surface geometry you wish to cut out from the one part into the other and use the gopy geom surface to perform the cut (insert>data-sharing>copy geom)

U can find it in assy, edit menu>>component operation>>cut out

Hi,


You can do it using insert<Shared Data<cutout from other model.in this you can assemble the other part the way you want it and create the cutout.

I spent an hour detailing out the history of top down design plus I
detailed out one way to do what you ask. 'Cut out from other
model' is one way to do it too.
