I have a sheet metal part created. I then mirrored the part for RH LH versions. I then apply bends to the mirrored version. In the original I have a keyway punched and then it get bent across the keyway for bolt head clearance as the part is slid over a bolt before tightening. When I go tho the flattened version the keyway looks fine. In the mirrored version, when I go to the flattened version the keyway is stretched across the bend material creating an oblong looking key way. What gives? The reason I need the flat in the mirrored version is to detail the keyway on the print in that state. And yes I tried the ol' "Rh shown-LH and RH required" note but that didn't fly with the man. We have to have a part number for every stinkin component, so he says! Sucks sometimes...TIA
