2 parts, Subtract 1 part from another part
(OP)
Hi,
I have 2 parts. I want to subtract one part from another part. Basically I want to remove part 1's material from part 2 because in the assembly part1 will be inside part 2.
Part 1 solid is very complicated and I do not want to go through the same features in the part 2 solid. I just want to import part 1 into part 2, make some mate and delete part 1 material from part 2.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Convert the IGES files to solid SW parts before trying to combine them.

Also got to SolidProfessor.com and download their "Learning Management System" for lots of sample tutorials of SWs capabilities.

Earlier versions had to use use the Move Body command.
If you are using SW2009, check the Help Index for mates > in multibody parts.

You may also launch Move/Copy afterwards to have the Mates show as a separate feature.
If you missed the option the first time you can right click and edit the Insert Part feature, check off the Locate option and Hit okay to add the mates as part of the Insert Part feature.
