Subtract via API

[RexKramer]

Greetings,

I have a problem accessing the subtract function in Solid Edge ST6 via the API. My goal is to add a part into an assembly and subtract it from all the parts in that assembly. I'm guessing (hoping) parts not intersecting wouldn't throw too tragic of an exception and I can ignore it. So while I can add a part and not lose track of it through a few recursive functions, I have found no trace of the subtract function in the API. If I'm not mistaken this function is new in ST6, which is why my usual sources for this kind of questions are of no help, so I am turning to the internet. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated, even a nudge in the right direction

Best,
Matic

Matic, I don't have an answer for you but it may be best to ask that at the Solid Edge Developer Community which is heavily followed and participated in regarding API topics:

Also, not sure if you know about it, but there are a bunch of samples that are updated regularly located at CodePlex:

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ken, I hope for better luck in the Solid Edge Developer Community. I have moved forward on this problem since the first post, mostly with the help of Solid Edge Spy, but I am still far from the desired result.
