Mirror components nonconcentric in 2011 SP3/4 (OK in SP2)
Mirror components nonconcentric in 2011 SP3/4 (OK in SP2)
(OP)
This is driving me nuts. I created an assembly in 2010. Time goes by no issue. Fast foward to 2011 SP3 and my mirrored part is now nonconcentric. If i open in SP2 and save all is ok. If i open in SP3 or 4 and save it goes non concentric. My reseller tells me it is because SW uses center of gravity to mirror. Im not satisfied with this answer for the obvious reasons. Ive got lots of time into an assembly that i cant use anymore. Reseller says they will alert me of SR status.
Please help. Im getting frustrated with my resellers confidence in themselves.

When both 1/2" Dia holes and the 3/4"-10 Tapped hole are suppressed, the concentricity is OK.
That's gotta be a bug!

Again they say comp. mirror works off COG. That seems silly, although it does seem to be whats happening.
Here is all i can find on mirror center points. If this "d" applies to other planes then it would indeed be nonconcentric?? Not sure.

I'm fairly sure it hasn't always worked that way, but I don't often use that command and could be wrong. Why would SW use the COG and not the origin? That doesn't make sense to me.

This is the only data i can find on how mirror centers work. Now according to this diagram the COG is the defining position relative to the mirror plane. Is it also the definig position relative to other planes? It does seem so, i think this is an error
SW has not responded to my SR yet, but again my reseller seems to think all is ok which is frustrating the crap out of me.

Another way is to use the Feedback link (top RH corner of the Help page) to make comment on this stupidity.

That link goes directly to a SW product development team member. I have had good response after recently using that option.
You could also use the Send as email option to contact one of the SW site moderators.
