NX 12.0 Drawing mirroring

[JPH_]

Does anyone know do we have this "drawing mirror" option like SolidWorks have in NX (see picture). In my company we always design only left handed parts and then mirrored to right side reduce design time. i can't find that mirror tool for drawing view. Can anyone help me?

And as you can suppose we make drawings for left handed part with dimension and then i want to mirror that part to the right side without that dimension disappear. There is so many dimensions in drawing, so that work to right side is always "waste time" if i can say so.

Doesn't exist in NX.
We just mentioned on the drawing "Drawn for left-hand side" Or "Drawn for clockwise rotation"

Closest thing you can do is create on the drawing level (in modeling) a mirrored copy or component (as the drawing is just toplevel from an assembly when you are working master model)
Dimensions you have to redo for the mirrored geometry.

okay, that is shame.. Then we are not going to do drawings to right side in NX. I am used NX two weeks now and miss SW already!

Give it some time.. Both have (dis) advantages.
