I need to mirror a part in another part in NX (non associative)
I need to mirror a part in another part in NX (non associative)
(OP)
I am on NX 10.0.3.x
I have a part that is comprised of splines and studio surfaces (no solid bodies). Let's call that orig.
I need to create a new sibling part (called mirrored) that has the exact same geometry but mirrored over a plane (a datum plane perhaps).
The relationships is to be non associative and the position/orientation of orig and mirrored can be non zero/identity.
How do I go about doing this?
Thank You.

We are still investigating. I don't think I tried wavelinking yet. Can you provide a step by step guide of what I need to do in order to try the wavelinking path?

Take orig, mirror using the Transform command (you'll have to define the plane or line to reference) and do a save as and name it mirror_orig.prt. Now you have 2 independent NX parts.

I don think we can mirror a property of any feature with parameters ON.
Ex: If a spline has points x30 y10 z12 we cant do a mirror of it as x-30 y-10 or z-12.
With any of the ways its not possible.
However you can mirror your CYS DATUM itself for the new part. So that when assembled in assembly with Associative Origin, you will have same part positioned in orig and mirror positions.
HOPE YOU GO IT.
Let me know if it was do able..
