SU has a native Trim tool under Solid Tools that enables you to cut a solid section out of a group/component using another.
Is there an extension that extends this facility to 2D work? So, if you had one 2D group/component overlapping another, you could use the extension to cut a section out with another one?
I realize that there are workarounds, such as moving one item above the other in the Z axis.
Interesting. Too bad it doesn’t work with components. I could put that to good use if it did.
Fantastic! Thanks Philip.
You’re right, it doesn’t. I wonder why not?
Yes. I know that is possible. Added work.
Not sure what you’re up to there, Jack. You’re working in 3D!
Always! (we all do, actually)
I was showing that there is a workaround for that, a method that @pcmoor often uses in Dynamic Components, namely the ‘double wrapping’ of components or groups.
It has some other benefits, too.
Do you think @TIG could be persuaded to add the function to his 2D toolset and perhaps make it work with components as well as groups?
