Hi All,

I was wondering if someone can come up with a creative way for me to achieve this:

I am working on a part, that has three components perfectly lined up in an assembly.  So far so good...

Now, I want to add another part, and I do, but this part, in order to align and "fit" perfectly it needs to have it's bottom cut with a surface, but this surface belongs to another part in the assembly.  In other words, I want to use the assembly to "drive" this one part, and use the surface of a component in the assembly to make a cut...

Is this even feasible?  Is there a creative way to do this in Solidworks? (I am at version 2011).

Any suggestions, i would greatly appreciate....

Thank you in advance....
