mirrored configuration

Yes...to add a derived configuration for each one of the others, I believe would do the trick.

How do I then actually make the mirrored part?

would do the trick.

Maybe that's not my real problem.

My right-hand and left-hand part is really identical. It is first on the assembly level I have the right/left issue - where I in one version use the

When I mate to the holes I use a pattern driven by the hole pattern in my part. The right/left difference is because I have a section of my part that is the "first section" before I have the holes that reflect the width of the part. This "first section" can be to the right or the left - but always before my paterned holes. For symetry reasons I have put a hole in this "first section"...

But on my assembly the mates follow the pattern - so unless I mirror that I dont get the mates like I want them.

I hope it makes any sense....

Yepp ...it's clear as mud...if I understand this correctly You should supress one hole in each rh-lh config ..the first or the last.

well - then I am bach where my original quest started.... (some time a go on this news group)

The problem is that I dont know which one is my "last" hole as it depends on the width of my part. So right now I work off a principle where I know where my "first" is - because that is always the first - but this principle now comes short when I introduce the right/left issue.

I guess I have to suppress specifically to the r/l configuration for each individual width - and then pick the exact last hole on each width.

supress one hole in each rh-lh config ..the first or the last.

To have both left and right hand versions in the same model take your origional version and select a surface(if you want to use your pattern then you will have to use a surface perpendicular to the holes, mirror body and delete body on the origional part.

Otherwise you could create an actual mirrored part Select a face insert>mirrored part once the new file is made add a hole wizzard feature constrain a point for each hole in your pattern. you can then use the hole wizard as your seed patern in an assembly.

supress one hole in each rh-lh config ..the first or the last.

On the mirrored part make a separate Pattern that would accomplish what you want. With your equations and everything.
