Mirror Components

Enhancements:
  • A MirrorComponent feature is added to the FeatureManager design tree to maintain the position of mirrored components relative to seed components.
  • You can create an opposite-hand version as a derived configuration of the component you are mirroring.
  • The Mirror Components PropertyManager includes changes that simplify the workflow.

In this example, you mirror a two-component subassembly. You create opposite-hand versions of the subassembly and one component, and save them as derived configurations. You create a second instance of the other component.

  1. Making Mirror Selections
    First you select the mirror plane and the components to mirror.
  2. Setting Orientation
    For each component, you specify whether to create an opposite-hand version or just a copy. For copies, you specify orientation.
  3. Creating Mirrored Configurations
    When you create an opposite-hand version of a component, you can create it in a new file or as a new derived configuration in the existing component file.
  4. Editing a Mirror Component Feature
    You can edit a mirror component feature.
