subtracting two touching shapes

rumar

hi

I'm having two shapes which touch each other and I'd like to subtract one from the other. Unfortunately the axlDBCreateVoid command doesn't work because the shape to be subtracted needs to be completely inside the other shape. Cite from the help:

"All void boundaries are completely within the boundary of their parent shape"

Anyone having an idea how I can achieve this?

Thanks

Marcel
