NX 2212: Subtraction error....... 2

Hi,

This is a very simple operation and never had this problem.
I created a tube using extrusion of a sketch circle:

The subtract tool doesn't perform. There is just a shadow of the operation, without cutting.

Where am I wrong?
Thank you!

Perhaps you have inadvertently chosen "intersection" instead of "subtract"?
If not, try giving the cutting extrusion some length in the -Y direction so that it does not start on the same plane as the tube.
If it still does not work, try examine geometry to look for issues.
 
Thanks, Cowski.
I had the same initial thought before; I double checked, I chosen to subtract.
 
It almost looks like you have two solid bodies. Try using delete body and see how many Solid Bodies you have. Kind of cool issue. ugh.
