To add a hole or cutout through multiple components, which command would you use?

The assembly cut command is specifically designed for situations where you need to create a hole or cutout that extends through multiple components in an assembly. This command allows users to select a cutting tool, specify the geometry, and define how the cut interacts with various components in the assembly context. By using this command, you ensure that the cut penetrates through all selected parts, maintaining alignment and consistency across multiple components. This is particularly important in complex assemblies where precision is required for fitting and function of parts.

The assembly boolean command does provide functionality for combining or subtracting volumes but is more suited for creating complex solid shapes rather than straightforward cutouts through multiple parts. Similarly, the through-all cut command typically applies to parts in isolation or simpler situations rather than managing multiple components seamlessly. The trim component command might be useful for modifying individual parts but does not facilitate simultaneous cutting through an assembly of parts. Thus, the assembly cut command is the optimal choice for achieving a hole or cutout across multiple components effectively.
