Hello Folks, I have a left handed part which has feature toleranced dimensions which I want these dimensions to show up in both my left my right handed part drawing. I created the mirror part by a "Insert mirror part" and have two separate drawings which each references a left or right side part. However, I am unable to show the model dimensions in each drawing, only the parent. Does anyone know how I might be able to create a trully parametric drawing showing the dimensions from that model in both drawings? Ultimately, I don't want to have to verify my duplicate drawing dimension tolerances visually. I want solidworks to always update my dimensions with the dimension tolerance applied in the base part. Any suggestions for this process would be greatly appreciated.
