Non-Associative Body After Mirroring

Non-Associative Body After Mirroring

Non-Associative Body After Mirroring

(OP)
How do you mirror a body without having an associative copy.  In other words, is it possible to obtain two separate bodies so that you can edit the copied body without altering the original.

RE: Non-Associative Body After Mirroring

turn off assotiativity, or fix at timestamp

RE: Non-Associative Body After Mirroring

There is no way to mirror all features from body but find herewith 2 methods that can help

1st solution if you need 2 different parts:
file save as
associative copy
then you can edit the original features

2nd solution if you need 2 solids in the same part:
Assuming that your first feature is based on a datum csys
create a new datum csys
copy your first feature
then paste it on the new datum csys
associative mirror copy the new solid
then you can edit the pasted features

RE: Non-Associative Body After Mirroring

or after you mirror the body
Edit > feature > remove parameters > select mirrored body
The mirrored body will become an "unparametized feature"
