can you subtract one part from another in st2?

can you subtract one part from another in st2?

can you subtract one part from another in st2?

(OP)
I am trying to model a part for a molding and due to the shape ST won't allow me to apply drafts where I want them. I've tried various methods with no success. The only thing left I can think of trying, is to create the drafts as a different part, place them both in an assembly together and delete one part from the other. I know I can do this in other software but don't know how do do it in ST2 as i'm a fairly new user.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers

RE: can you subtract one part from another in st2?

Once you have created the part to be subtracted insert it into your original part as a part copy.
Then use the boolean operation on the surfacing menu.
