Making the inverse part (Part 1 - Part 2)
Making the inverse part (Part 1 - Part 2)
(OP)
I have two parts: one is a wax block, and the other is the part I want to create in the wax block. The trick is that I want to create the inverse part in the wax block because I will be machining the mold in the wax. This means that instead of using the part, I want to remove the part from the wax block in pro/e. I know how to do this in solidworks (assemble ->remove material) and it is fairly simple but I am having some troubles in Pro/e WF4. I have seen to use the cavity mold program but that is much more complicated than it should be. All I am looking is to subtract one part from another. Thank you for your time.

You will need some or all of these config.pro settings depending on what your default model reference scope settings are:
ALLOW_REF_SCOPE_CHANGE YES
DEFAULT_EXT_REF_SCOPE ALL
DEFAULT_OBJECT_SCOPE_SETTING ALL
DEFAULT_OBJECT_INVALID_REFS COPY
IGNORE_ALL_REF_SCOPE_SETTINGS YES
MODEL_ALLOW_REF_SCOPE_CHANGE YES
SCOPE_INVALID_REFS COPY

Wax mould will update due to copygeom, if component is modified.
