Have you got any other idea to help me?Maybe I should be more specific firstly: I have 2 features,one is my basic one, which is a hammer, and the other one is a box from which I want to subtract the hammer so as to create the mold. How can I do it?

Create an assembly with Cavity Insert and Sacled Component. Start a new Part Document and Derive the assembly into that. Subtract while deriving. Your Cavity is ready.
To do this using API See Derived Parts and Assemblies under Programming Help ->Samples
