Tips

• When you create a cut operation, the bodies to affect are determined based on visibility. Bodies that are visible will participate. Bodies that are not visible will not participate.
• Check New Component to create a new internal component in the assembly to contain the combined result.
• Check Keep Tools to preserve a copy of the tool bodies in the design.
• If the combined result is hidden behind the tool bodies in the canvas, locate the tool bodies in the Browser and hide them.
