inverse boolean wanted

 From:  wimverbe

I have a lathed curve and a flat closed path which should cut parts away from the lathed object. but the inverse of what should be cut away is taken. I was able to solve it by using the trim command, but I wonder if this can be done with the booleans?

tnx
wim
