Tapped holes in mirrored parts disappear
Tapped holes in mirrored parts disappear
(OP)
I had an assembly inside which I wanted to mirror certain components. These components both had tapped holes in them which were created using the threaded hole type in the Hole command (not pre-NX5 hole command).
The components seemed to work correctly, but I noticed that the while the hole mirrored over, the symbolic thread did not. What is the problem with this? Did I miss something or is it a glitch?

Try again...
Mirroring only ever takes or took the geometry and tapped holes don't get carried across. With mirror assembly sometimes parts that are otherwise symmetrical about at least one axis may be repositioned rather than mirrored. When this isn't geometrically possible a new part is created with physically mirrored geometry, and that will consistently fail to carry the thread features with it as it does in any other setting within UG.
Yes I would say it might make a good enhancement request, if it isn't already under consideration.

I think it mignt be some to add to those kind of feature (mirror instance) there is still thing to improve one those ones.
