Hello,
I was creating an assembly and I had 2 intersecting parts. I wanted to use the intersecting feature to remove the overlaying layer. But, under Insert, I don't see any of the other features besides the simple ones. I went to Customize in Tools and dragged Intersect into the Command Manager. But, it's grayed out/disabled so I can't use it. The features are there in a parts file but not in an assembly file where I need it.
How can I re-enable it? Thank you.

Kazi, the features you are after are part level features therefore to use in an assembly you need to edit one of the parts. After doing this you will notice the part level features become available. The item you have edited will have the text colour in the tree change colour and you may find the other items in the assembly go transparent- you can change the "Assembly Transparency button to help with this.
When this is done there are a variety of ways you can do a subtraction of one part from another, Intersect, Indent or as Fatih Mehmet Ozcan mentions, Cavity.
After Editing the part toolbars return
