I am trying to subtract elements from Layer 1 from elements from Layer 2 to create holes in Layer 2 that match the elements in Layer 1. I can use the Boolean Subtract function for individual objects, but I cannot select multiple (all) objects from Layer : Numerical Innovations

How can we help you today?

There are two options.

1. Build Composite (menu: Tools / Composites / Build Composite...)

2. Boolean Wizard (menu: Tools / Boolean Wizard / Subtract...).

Build Composites is actually the preferred way to perform boolean subtraction on your design - instead of Boolean Wizard. Here's a movie showing how to perform that command, https://support.numericalinnovations.com/support/discussions/topics/14000003348

Note: Boolean Wizard converts everything to polygons and then performs the subtracting - which can result in massive polygons with cutlines.
