Extruded cut on part through specific features

Extruded cut on part through specific features

(OP)
I'm wondering if there is a way to do an extruded cut on a part through specific features only such that it cuts some features and leaves others alone? is this possible?

RE: Extruded cut on part through specific features

Not unless it's a multi-body part.

Okay that's what I thought.

If the people from Dassault were listening, they should note that this would be a nice thing for the extruded cut feature to have.

RE: Extruded cut on part through specific features

You can build the part as multi-body, do the cut extrude on required features/bodies and then combine them into one. OR do cut extrude as many times as you want it to affect the number of features.

This is true, but as some of these parts are fairly complex, and I'm running sw2010 off of a computer w/ a Pentium 4 I'd prefer to keep the feature tree as consolidated as possible.
