William, In ProE this sort of Boolean operation is carried out within an assembly. Depending on what you are doing the assembly can be a temporary file that is deleted after you have performed the operation. Once the two parts are assembled properly, go to Edit/ComponentOperations/CutOut and follow the prompts. David
