Mirroring components in an assembly

Mirroring components in an assembly

Mirroring components in an assembly

(OP)
Hi all. I have a rather large assembly that basically has 2 sub assemblies that are identical but mirrored about the center of another sub assembly. Is there a way to mirror/copy the first sub assembly as a simplified assembly to keep my file size down? I have not done alot of searching for this and I will do this now, but i wanted to post the question to see if someone could throw out and answer quick.

thanks!!

RE: Mirroring components in an assembly

Is the mirrored assembly only for display purpose or do you need it to create an accurate BOM later on? If it is only for display you can try the following. Create a simplified version of the original assembly; right click on it and select save as part. You can then create a mirrored part copy and place that into you main assembly.

Regards,
Theodore
