assembly cut out

Hi,

I have a question concerning option Component>Component operation>Cut Out.
I have two pipes as on attached drawing. One is cutting another. Is it possible that the material in a bigger pipe will be also cut out inside the smaller one? I mean that not only the place where the small one really is but also inside the small one.

When you do the cut out operation you are asked to pick the parts that will be cut and then asked which parts will do the cutting. So I think the answer to your question is no. If you are picking the small pipe to cut an opening in the large pipe then the large pipe will not make any cutting operations on the small pipe. You would have to choose them in a backwards order for the large pipe to make any cuts to the small pipe.
