Mirroring a pattern
Mirroring a pattern
(OP)
Hopefully this is a simple issue. Something I know can be done with some of the midrange cad packages is mirroring a pattern, or patterning something mirrored. CATIA doesn't seem to be able to handle something like this that I can find. Any help would be great.





RE: Mirroring a pattern
- Insert a new body to your part.
- Create a feature (or features) you want to pattern and mirror into the new body.
- Pattern the feature as usual
- Mirror whole body (not features)
- Click inserted body with mb3. From contextual menu select Body object > Assemble
- Select a feature from original body under which the other body will be assembled.
That's it.
RE: Mirroring a pattern
I do appreciate the tip though. Thanks.
RE: Mirroring a pattern
do 'em "up to next" or "up to last". For situations like this use "up to plane" type.
If features in 2nd body are pockets (or any other material removing features) it is possible to use boolean operation
Assemble directly to create pocket to solid(no need to create pads and select subtract
