Mirror parts in assembly HOW??
Mirror parts in assembly HOW??
(OP)
I have created an assembly model comprising approx 15 parts. I now want to mirror several of the parts about a central part to create a symmetrical assembly. I am struggling to find anyway of doing this. I seem to have no access to the MIRROR icon from within the assembly modelling environment. Surely I don’t have to copy all the parts and constrain them all again??





RE: Mirror parts in assembly HOW??
If parts are mirrored in two dimensions you could try a circular pattern.
Another option if you're not concerned about having the parts in a bom or parts list is to insert the assembly into a part file and then mirror it there (provided you're mirroring entire assembly).
Hope this helps.

Why not open a new assy, set the first assy as a subassy in the new file. And that subassy again in the new assy?
Your new assy contains also 2 times the same subassy.
Create a circular pattern and use 180 deg.
