Create a Mirror Part
Create a Mirror Part
(OP)
I have a part with a job number, the next job number is the same assembly but the main part is the mirror of the first one so I want to create a new part in a different folder and that part will be the mirror of the first one. So far I have tried mirror assembly but it doesnt create a different part in the other folder it just creates a mirror part in the first assembly and I can't modify the features of that part.
Is what I am asking possible?
Thank you

RE: Create a Mirror Part
When you create a mirror assembly you have three options:
- reuse and reposition (not create new files)
- create a non associative part
- create an associative part
With the last one you will create a new file which contains a linked body to the original.
Are using the first one?? reuse and reposition?

2. R-click the part, WAVE, Create Linked Mirror Part
3. Name the part, choose Objects to Mirror, select Mirror Plane, Non-exact Mirror - Keep Broken Links
4. Modify mirrored part and save
5. Create New Parent (if not top-down modeling} and name the assembly
6. Add the original part you mirrored from
Best regards
RE: Create a Mirror Part
will you do diferent things on that "mirror" ?
u can reuse and reposition then make unique, i think its what you want (but will not be associative); for associative and diferent results u can link and fix current timestamp before the diferent Feature.

No, at least there is no automated way to do it. You can, of course, build the mirror part manually with all the features mirrored w.r.t. the first part.

What I understand is that you want a mirrored part with all the features (not just a linked body), but with these features creating a mirror body....Is what you want?
If it´s that...sadly, there is no possibilty.

Thank you for your answers!
RE: Create a Mirror Part
Try rhe following steps
- save as your first part
- add a mirror body feature at the end
- delete the original body with delete body feature
- create interpart expression on all features with the original part if needed
Make it sense ?
It should be done with à VB journal
