Creating Mirror Part Duplicate Dimensions?

Creating Mirror Part Duplicate Dimensions?

Creating Mirror Part Duplicate Dimensions?

(OP)
Hello Folks,  I have a left handed part which has feature toleranced dimensions which I want these dimensions to show up in both my left my right handed part drawing.  I created the mirror part by a "Insert mirror part" and have two separate drawings which each references a left or right side part.  However, I am unable to show the model dimensions in each drawing, only the parent.  Does anyone know how I might be able to create a trully parametric drawing showing the dimensions from that model in both drawings?  Ultimately, I don't want to have to verify my duplicate drawing dimension tolerances visually.  I want solidworks to always update my dimensions with the dimension tolerance applied in the base part.  Any suggestions for this process would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it can be done.
