iFeature stopper working and I cannot replicate my old work.

Hello.
I cannot replicate my old results with an iFeature that produces a hole for a small screw and a pocket for a nut in a multi-body part. What did I do wrong? I can include all the parts and files.

How do I define direction in the iFeature?
Is this really the only way to recreate a subtractive operation in Inventor?

I am currently working with files that end in 17 and 19 and trying to produce the geometry using those files.
I cannot always select the two solids that I want to join because Inventor does not let me.

Hi! iFeature limits to one solid body only. Another more flexible way of porting geometry is using Derive. Essentially, you build the tools as ipt files. Next derive it as a solid body into the target part. Use Move Bodies or Direct Edit -> Bodies -> Move to relocate the solid body. Then perform the Boolean operation using Combine.

Many thanks!
