Mirroring components

Aug 22, 2006 4 Replies

Hello,



I'd like to mirror a few components in an assembly. So I do an Insert->Mirror Components, select a plane and the components and that's that. But all that SW does is create a few mirrored copies of the component that don't stay mirrored when the originals are moved, for instance. I'd like a mirror function that works like the component patterns; i.e., that the mirrored parts show up inside a "mirror1" subfolder, and that symmetry is preserved when the original parts are moved with respect to the mirror plane.



This shpuld be possible because it works with other kinds of patterns, too.

Yeah, I'd like that too!

Go ahead and keep on liking...

What... that really isn't possible? I can do circular, sketch-driven and what-not patterns, but not a simple mirroring?

Strange...

Very strange indeed.

Daniel, When I tried this feature at the first time it shocked me too. It seems such a basic and simple thing to code for the Solidworks guys, yet it is absolutely non existent. Maybe one day.......... (SW2008??)
