I am trying to create a cut at the intersection of a pipe and a curved solid piece. I am new to solidworks, and I basically want a cut of the exact hole in which the pipe makes in the curved piece. I did an intersection which proved successful, but I want to be able to get rid of the pipe piece once I am done. I put this assembly that I am working on and a part in which the curved piece added on has an intersection with the pipe. I need to find a way to create the cut in either the part or the assembly.
Can you post your part and what version of solidworks you are running? use advanced editor in top right corner to add a part. Tom
Attached is a sample part. A pipe and a solid curved part going through it. Go to my feature tree and drag down past the combine2 feature. Hole in pipe solid disappears.
