Subtract, via Translation (3-D)

3-D Standard > Process with sketch > SubtTra

You use this function to insert a material subtraction into the active part. The bore is based on a sketch, which penetrates the active 3-D part in all its depth. The part that is created during subtraction is the difference between the active 3-D part and the extruded solid derived from the sketch.

To create a bore, proceed as follows:

1. Activate the Subtract tab and select Subtract with translation, through as cross-section motion.
2. Activate the Include sub-parts checkbox if you want the sub-parts of the active part to be taken into account for the subtraction.
3. If you want the subtraction to be created with adraught, enter the angle of inclination. The position of the form-inclination is influenced by the plus/minus sign.
4. If you want to use an existing sketch, click the Select sketch button and identify the sketch.
   To create a new sketch, click the New sketch button. HiCAD displays the Sketch tab. Create the desired sketch.
5. Define the other options by activating/deactivating the checkboxes.
6. Click the Preview button to display the result.
7. Click Apply if you want to apply the bore as displayed in the preview.

Notes:

• Multiple selection of parts is also available to you when inserting bores. If a part list is active when you call the function, the bore is applied to parts in the list in one step.
• The name of the 3-D part is retained as the part name. If the sketch protrudes beyond the bounding edges of the 3-D part, it is cropped or, in the least favourable case, sliced. If the sketch completely overlaps the 3-D part, a dummy part is created.
• The direction in which subtractions and additions are applied depends on the current sketch plane.
