Symmetrically Opposite Details?!?!?!?
Symmetrically Opposite Details?!?!?!?
(OP)
So I've gotten a CATProd that has obvious RH and LH details that are sym. opposite. But there is no symmetry applied in the tree anywhere. My question is, how was it done. The CATParts have the same name, but are opposite. You have one and the other changes. I cannot figure it out.

Kind of hard to tell from the geometry, but it could be 2 instances of the same perch, but constrained to flip one from the other.

If not, investigate further by switching on display of 'Parameters' and 'Relations' in Part Infrastructure -> Display. Also look at menu function Edit -> Links, and 'Parents & Children' by right clicking on a feature. These should expose the relationships & links which may help understand the behaviour you get.

can you look at the bottom of "ARM ADJUSTABLE rev4" to see if there is any assembly symmetry...

I can send the file if you want to look at it.

The parts are made with simple features, therefore the past special CATIA_SPEC option worked fine, and V5 constrains used to prevent movements.

The fact is they are not seperate parts - they are both modelled in one part.
Bad news is it seems that has been the general approach to the other parts too.
