Mirror parts with bolted connection

Mirror parts with bolted connection

Mirror parts with bolted connection

(OP)
What is the best way to mirror parts with bolted connections within an assembly (Inventor 2010)?

RE: Mirror parts with bolted connection

I try not to mirror parts in assemblies, can't remember the last time I used it. Can you try to pattern the bolted connections instead?

RE: Mirror parts with bolted connection

(OP)
Unfortunetly autodedesk does not let you pattern a bolted connection. I can pattern a point and then use the bolted pattern on the points but most of my bolt placements don't  follow pattern.
 

RE: Mirror parts with bolted connection

Since when? I can.

You are better off to use pattern by holes anyway because a bolted pattern does not pattern holes if you use the BC to create the hole.
