To Merge Using Component Operations

You can merge or cutout multiple components simultaneously using this method.

1. Retrieve an assembly.
2. Click > > or Cut Out.

After you assemble components before performing a cutout procedure, hidden line removal may not function as you expect. If the assembly components physically intersect, one or both of them may not appear correctly. If this occurs, you have not placed them correctly.
