Re: Cutting on a plane?
If you are trying to cut on a plane, you will probably find it easier to use the "split" or possibly "replace face" command that are offered for that same reason in the part features menu. The replace face is EXTREMELY useful for operations like this since you can make extrude lines to form bent work planes from the side view and then remove all material up to that surface.
Split can be useful if you want to salvage both parts of the piece. For example in my CIMS class we had to make the top and bottom of a container using one block. Since we'd separate the block in real life our teacher wanted us to split and save both parts on the CAD program(we used inventor of course)
