weldments - profile orientation/reversing

[KyleWilcox]

Hey there, something that's been a nuisance to me is that to solidworks, a 2x3 piece of angle isn't the same as a 3x2 piece of angle. In real life, you flip it end for end and voila you've "mirrored" the profile... is there any way to do this in SW or do I need to make mirrored profiles for each one I need to use?

thanks a bunch!
Kyle

KyleWilcox,

Draw you path sketches in the opposite direction. That is the only quick way to do it right now.

I think it's quicker to edit the sketch profile, after the pieces are in place & rotated.
