Keep Materials when Mirroring Part/Product in Assembly Design
Keep Materials when Mirroring Part/Product in Assembly Design
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I have an assembly that is 45,000+ parts and have applied materials to all of those parts. I would now like to mirror the assembly. I was planning on using the symmetry command in the Assembly Design workbench under the Assembly Features toolbar, but using this command I cannot figure out a way to carry the materials over from the original parts to the mirrored parts. Does anyone know any methods to getting around this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help!

by default CATIA transfers all the material property to the mirrored parts also.I could get it.Please try and tell me.

Just to be clear, I'm not interested in the "Mechanical Properties" that can be found by right clicking and a part and selecting properties. I'm interested in the materials which add color/texture to the part.

Specific colours/layers on solids and the material from the catalog.
