Open part in NX
Extrude Feature result body is created outside the main body. As a result the Subtract cannot be completed.

Problem is platform specific: No Platform:
Problem verified on the following platforms and OS versions:
Intel IV, Win10 64-bit
The problem has been investigated and the following has been found:
Siemens believes that the problem you reported where there are issues with extrude defined by two directions can be fixed by performing a manual workaround. NX reader supports Extrudes defined by two directions. This Extrude fails because of a gap between CAD systems. This is a Cut Extrude with circular profile, which creates a cylindrical tool body. It tries to cut through a cylindrical hole whose diameter is equal to the tool's, which is causing an error in NX.
The error could be manually fixed by adding small amount of Offset in the Extrude, or switching the order of operation from:
1. Basis-Linear austragen
2. Fase3
3. Austragung1
4. Schnitt-Linear austragen4
to:
1. Austragung1
2. Schnitt-Linear austragen4
3. Basis-Linear austragen
4. Fase3"
