Hello People,
first off -- I'm German and I'm using the German version of Solidworks so I have a profound lack of the proper English technical vocabulary, but please bear with me.
I'm designing a part which is basically a square slab with almost identical features on all four narrow faces. The features all have the same shape but are milled out to different depths (which is why I can't use a circular pattern). So I made one sketch on one face first and then put derived sketches on the other three faces. Unfortunately I found that all of these sketches are a mirror image of the original one so all the derived features would come out as mirrored versions.
Why is this, and how can the orientation be changed? As far as I can tell, derived sketches can be translated and rotated within the plane on which they were place, but I haven't found a way to flip them.
Thanks for any tips,
--Daniel
