Mirrored configured feature not showing
Mirrored configured feature not showing
(OP)
Hi
I have a part with a number of features that are controlled (supressed and unsupressed) in a design table. These features are mirrored and depending if they are suppressed or not, they are mirrored or not. But some features don't behave that way, they loose their "connection" with the mirror feature whenever I change the config.
(when checking the parent/child options a "normal" feature shows the mirror even though the feature itself is surpressd, the vanishing ones do not show the mirror when surpressed)
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

I think you are going to have to have a separate mirror feature for each entity that gets mirrored separately. Then control that mirror feature in the design table similar to what I mentioned above.

When I look in the parent/child option the mirror feature stays "connected" to the feature for the reappearing onces and disappears completly for the the features that do not reappear.
I believe the problem features where added at a later point than the working ones, so I will delete the mirror feature, unsupress all features and then create the mirrow feature again. After that I will surpress the features in the design table. See if that works...
