In the assembly, you may need to turn on the features from the features types in the model tree. This will allow you to see things one created like assembly cuts.

 

As for the UDF, (I have not done a lot with these) you could probably do an extrude (cut) utilizing the inside diameter of the tube. How is the tube define? ID & thickness, OD & thickness, OD/ID? If this ID is involved, you use a parameter for the value that you could use in the UDF.

Be very careful when addding assembly cuts. Make sure you select which parts you want the cut to intersect as well as selecting Extrude to selected surface

There is no "automatic" method to do this.

You may be able to use "cut out" under component operations which would use one part to remove material from another part within an assembly.
