How to create a bore

tH3f0rC3 · June 12, 2012, 08:13

Hi,

I'm trying to create a bore as you can see in the attachment below.
The result of using Extrude Cut is shown in fig2.

But I want to have an "inverse cut".

Maybe someone can help me. With creating a profile and a path and than using the sweep cut command I'm getting the same result. And this is what I've found in the User's Guide.

Best Regards,

Hi!
Try changing the order of the bool operation. First select the part that should remain, second the part that should cut away.

Regards,
Matthias
