Catia will not Remove a Translated Pad

[Rickg5106]

Hello All,
I am doing a small job in Catia to export to Mastercam. The part is small so I figured I would gang 5 of them together.
Did a pad for the stock, imported the piece and translated it into position in the stock.
Created points for the spacing of the individual pieces.
Started doing pads to match the holes in the example piece, in the stock.
Boolean Removed the pads for the middle piece, worked as normal.
Selected those PADS and did a point to point translation to move them to the other positions.
Original pads, one point left. Original pads, 2 points left. 2 new positions, 3 points right. A total of 3 translations, each in it's own body. Always picking the individual Pad. Everything moved as normal.
Did a Remove for each body from the "STOCK" body.
They each end up in a REMOVE folder.
There is no error.
There is no Update option.
The 4 pads are still there.
What happened?

Check the model thats on red.
correct me if im wrong but i think it is already removed. Try to use the dynamic sectioning and see through you model.
I believe its already hollow inside, but you just cant view it.

Or can you label each parts cause im not sure on which one your working into. Hope i can help.

I'm not sure why the original 4 pads are still there; a translation moves the body without making a copy. I just tried to duplicate the problem but I couldn't recreate the error. I might not understand the exact steps you did. Why are there 12 Removes in the tree? Where do these extra pads show up in the tree?

I would have modeled the mold with a Pattern, instead of the Translations. But your method should work, plus it provides some flexibility.
