Isolating Symmetry Assembly

Isolating Symmetry Assembly

Isolating Symmetry Assembly

(OP)
So i have a assembly of parts on right hand side. I mirrored the whole thing to left hand side. Now the shop floor changed something, but it's only on the right hand assembly. How do i isolate the left hand symmetry. I isolated all the links coming out of each part on left hand symmetry....but it still updates when i change the right hand side.
Help!!!

RE: Isolating Symmetry Assembly

Hi spider007,

Try going in the part created by the symmetry feature, and then isolate the solid body to which it refers to.

Try doing the following: open "Symmetry of <__your_part__>.CATPart", then go to Solid.1 in the tree and right-click it and from Solid.1 object click isolate.

Hope this helps!

Best of luck!

Weird...it worked on a simple test assembly but not on my actual assembly...I ended up using "copy/paste as result" on the symmetry assembly. Quick and dirty. Probably gives some guys here goosebumps. flush2
