Hi!
This is about making "Extent - All" cutting only active component geometry by default.
Now it cuts through everything and my idea is to make several choices, i.e.: 'all in active component', 'all visible', 'all visible in active component', 'all (EVERYTHING!!!)'.
Latter is optional 🙂
Several pics follow:
1. This one illustrates two components with one box in each. Component 2 is active
2. And this one shows how Hole operation treats Extent - All option. It cuts through Component 2 AND Component 1 geometry that could possibly be not required by default. This could be not most illustrative example but if you work with assembly this can seriously reduce productivity.
