How to subtract an assembly from a part
How to subtract an assembly from a part
(OP)
Hi,
I have a complex set of parts that I need to associatively subtract from an assembly then add features referencing the geometry. I have tried the combine feature and mate one at a time this is problematic as I cannot add a new part to the combine without deleting the combine. I tried to do a join at the assembly level then do a combine but it still sees the individual parts. If I do a saveas part then combine I loose associativity. Any other suggestions, I'm stumped?
p.s. I'm running 2010.
thanks,
