Copying Mirrored parts
Copying Mirrored parts

Hi all (again)
I have a mirrored part and my client wants the left and right parts in seperate files, which means copying the mirrored part.
Is that possibal - to copy the mirrored part in a seperate file?
Thanks

RE: Copying Mirrored parts
You have 2 options:
1) 'Delete Body' to remove the left side and Save as Part-Right Side. Then 'Delete Body' to the right side and Save as Part-Left Side. Now you have 2 files 2 parts.
However, these files are no longer linked and a change to one will no tbe updated on the other. (But could be done manually)
2) Create an assembly with the part (delete out the mirrored body). Then 'insert' -> 'mirror component' and select the part and a plane to mirror it about. (Make sure that you properly ckeck the box to create a left/right version)
Now the part and its mirror are linked and any change you make to the original will be updated in the mirrored part thru the assembly.
