Re: Subtracting one volume from another, but leaving the original volume in place
Pasi Entaban Mar 7, 2013 11:46 AM (in response to Michael Hanagan)Try using the 'indent' tool and setting it to cut with a clearance of zero.

Alin Vargatu Mar 7, 2013 11:47 AM (in response to Michael Hanagan)I assume you use SolidWorks 2012 or older.
Rollback before the Combine Feature, and use the Move/Copy Body Command to create copy of the coil bodies.
Rollback to present and is done.
In 2013 you can use the Intersect feature in order to skip the copying bodies step.

Michael Hanagan Mar 7, 2013 12:44 PM (in response to Alin Vargatu)Ahhh, I apparently wasn't using the correct Copy/Move command! Using the Features... Copy/Move Bodies... worked. And the subsequent Features... Combine... and selecting all the copied bodies did the trick. Thank you!!

Chris Michalski Mar 7, 2013 11:48 AM (in response to Michael Hanagan)Can you accept an assembly instead of a multi-body part? This would let you modify the block AND keep the coils.

Michael Hanagan Mar 7, 2013 12:46 PM (in response to Chris Michalski)For this particular instance I want to stay in the Part mode and not go to Assembly. Thanks for the suggestion!
