Mirrored components in assembly loose constraints
Mirrored components in assembly loose constraints
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm using Inventor Professional 2010. I make sketches, make parts from those sketches, and place them into an assy. I can't figure out why when I mirror a part in any of my assemblies, the new part isn't constrained. I have to manually constrain it. I thought that the mirrored part is suppose to maintain the constraints of the original part. Am I wrong on this?
I get the same results when I either mirror the part (making a new file) or reuse the part.
Is there an option that I'm missing in the Mirror Components dialouge boxes or an option that needs checked or unchecked in Application Options?
Thanks!

RE: Mirrored components in assembly loose constraints
I would only use it if I actually had to, if the part can be reused I would used other methods for positioning components (patterns, master parts, etc).
