Derived Component great but what about the 2D drg
Derived Component great but what about the 2D drg
(OP)
Hi im using Inventor 10 and have been for quite sometime. I have come across another instance where some help if possible would be greatly appreciated. When you derive a component part to make handed components we also need a 2D drawing for the handed part, so, can we copy the 2D drawing of the original part to a new file name and then re-direct the base view filename path in the new drawing to the handed part?
I would greatly appreciate some help on this as we do this time and time again and it would prevent a lot of work.
My thanks. Stevo

"One off As Drawn, One off Opposite Hand"
Do you really need two drawings??

Inventor will give you the option of selecting a prefix or a suffix for the new mirrored part.
Plus it is classed as a seperate part and you can make a 2D drawing of it.

Whenever I have wanted to create an "opposite as drawn" part I have mirrored the original inside an assembly. That way it creates an autonomous part that can be used as required.
All I can suggest is that you do whatever suits you best.
