Re: "make independent copy ...." issue adding body

Can you show me an example where I put the cutting body into the mainbody and execute a "subract"? Boolean operations are abstracted from the user in the conventional PartDesign workflow (using additive/subtractive features.) If you wish to explictly use booleans then just use the Part wb...

Re: Making pocket/hole should be easy...?

Unfortunately a hit and hope strategy is unlikely to work. Try a basic tutorial, it should be worked through, not simply read. CAD is not easy, it requires some thought and a lot of practice. It is better to ask for help with specific problems. Please read the link at the top of the page. ( in the b...
