Why can't you mirror Projected geometry inside of Sketcher? (NX6)

(OP)
Why can't you mirror projected geometry in a sketch?

Try it: project a curve or a point from elsewhere in a model, into a Sketch, then try to mirror that projected geometry inside the sketch.   Can't do it.

Why not?  Would be nice.

I know it might sound daft but have you tried it with the associativity turned off? I'm at home at the moment so I can't try it.

Best regards

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

RE: Why can't you mirror Projected geometry inside of Sketcher? (NX6)

yes it would be nice, but each of those things are its own feature, and features cannot be inside features.

RE: Why can't you mirror Projected geometry inside of Sketcher? (NX6)

Yes, this is true, but I can offer a workaround.  After you Project the curves/edges into the Sketch, convert them to Reference Curves and then Offset them zero distance.  Now Mirror the zero Offseted curves.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
