Mirror and/or Symmetry V5??
Mirror and/or Symmetry V5??
(OP)
I have CATIA V5 data we recieved from an equipement supplier and I came across a design process I cannot duplicate.
There are 2 catproducts with the same part name with a different instance name. The result resmembles a copy/paste however one of the catproducts is a mirror image. When expanding the tree, the individual catproducts contain the same parts, geo. sets, etc.
If I create a new part under either catproduct the mirror image part appears under the corresponding catproduct.
How was this accomplished?

Download the script center, it has a tonne of little things that will help your or guide you to the promised lands of scripting.
This script I speak of is found under the Product section and called Product symmetry
Limitations to this method:
R20SP6 step does not recognize this move. Iges does.
The product you mirror must be located around world 0,0,0 and NO rotations. You will create funny shapes otherwise.
