Boolean Assembly vs. Add, what's the difference? 1

[bsurfN99]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could clarify for me what the difference between a Boolean Assembly operation and an Add operation was. There doesn't seem to be any difference.


Baffled...

You know what Add and Remove does.

Assembly does either an Add or a Remove, based on the feature type. So, Assemble will perform an Add on positive mass features (pad, shaft, rib, etc); and Assemble will perform a Remove on negative mass features (pocket, groove, hole, etc).

Is there any logic to the Boolean functions?

For instance, If I Remove a hole, it still "removes the hole"

so it doesn't work like maths i.e. two negatives make a positive etc.

Thanks, I'll try that. I wonder if you have tried to use Rotate transformation in sketcher and whether it keeps the angle so you can modify it later?
