Re: Part Designer vs. subtractive boxes

What I want to do is to cut off the last couple mm of the guide bars, by strategic placement of a subtractive box. See my second image, where everything looks perfectly OK and workable. My point however is more general. Fact: there is a feature called "Subtractive Box". It's right there in...
