Specifying the Type of Mirror

For each component, you specify whether to create an opposite-hand version or just a copy. For copies (mirrored instances), you select an orientation. For opposite-hand versions, you specify how to save the new component.

  • If you have selected multiple components, you can create copies of some and opposite-hand versions of others.
  • When you mirror a subassembly, you can specify to copy some of its components and create opposite-hand versions for others.

  • Creating a Mirrored Instance

    Creating a mirrored instance is most useful for symmetrical components.

  • Creating Opposite-Hand Versions

    When you create an opposite-hand version of an assembly component, you specify whether to save it in a new file or as a derived configuration in an existing file.
