Description
The 
Part Cut tool cuts (subtracts) selected Part objects, the last one being subtracted from the first one. This operation is fully parametric and the components can be modified and the result recomputed.
This tool is an automated form of the 
Boolean operation.
Usage
- Select two shapes.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Cut button. - Select the Part → Boolean → Cut option from the menu.
- Press the
Supported inputs
Input objects must be OpenCASCADE shapes. For example objects made with the Part, PartDesign or Sketcher workbenches. For meshes there are dedicated Boolean tools in Mesh Workbench.
