What it does

These commands work on the whole body (a body must exist).

Command Description
Union / Add Merge with another part (.metprt).
Subtract Remove the shape of another part.
Intersect Keep only the overlapping region.
Scale Scale about the origin (Uniform scale about origin, 0.001–1000).
Rotate Datum Rotate the body about the origin (choose axis X/Y/Z, then the angle; default 90°) while keeping the feature history.

Steps (Union / Subtract / Intersect)

  1. Click the command.
  2. Select the tool part file (Select tool part (shared XYZ coordinates)).
