Hi,

In Creo I am trying to do a assembly cut-outoperation through;

Operations > Component Operation > Cut Out

The error I am getting says that 'Cannot merge a part intersected by an assembly feature'.

How do I resolve this issue?

Hello Benjamin and welcome to the forum.

The idea behind the cutout feature (merge) is that it removed one part from another.

So the feature you created in the assembly cannot -reference- in the process that was done outside the part file.

Hi Antonius,

After looking over this model for a day I cant find the issue. Is there another way around the cut out feature?

I would have to see the files you are having an issue with.

Hi Benjamin,

You've likely already moved on but, if not, here are my thoughts.

The Cut Out operation cannot be used on components that are intersected by assembly features such as assembly level cuts. If this is the case in your model, you can either delete the assembly features, redefine the assembly features that intersect the parts selected for the Cut Out and remove them from the intersection list, or reorder the assembly features after the Cut Out.
