Subtract
Summary
With SUBTRACT, you can create a 3D solid by subtracting one set of existing
3D solids from another, overlapping set. You can create a 2D region object by
subtracting one set of existing region objects from another, overlapping set.
You can select only regions for use with this command.
NOTE Using SUBTRACT with 3D surfaces is not recommended. Use the SURFTRIM
(page 1059) command instead.
Select the objects that you want to keep, press Enter, then select the objects
that you want to subtract.
Objects in the second selection set are subtracted from objects in the first
selection set. A single new 3D solid, surface, or region is created.
