Hello,

After mirror an assembly, if the position of the mirror plane is changed, it is possible to modify the position of mirrored components (mirror associativity)?

Thank you.
Regards,

Hello,

Sorry, I am using NX8

Thanks,

When using the 'Mirror Assembly' wizard, the use of the term 'Associative Mirror' ONLY applies to the fact that there will be a 'mirrored' Component created which will be associated back to the original Component, NOT to the positioning of any of the Components either mirrored or simply repositioned. There are no 'Mirror' assembly constraints, which is what would be needed to provide the behavior that you're looking for.
