Mirror components in an assembly


  1. Choose Home tab→Pattern group→Mirror Components .

  2. In the graphics window or PathFinder, select the components which you want to mirror, then click the Accept button.

  3. In the graphics window, select an existing assembly reference plane about which you want to mirror components.

  4. On the Mirror Components dialog box, set the mirror options you want, then click OK.

  5. On the command bar, click Finish.

    Note:

    For QY CAD data management users who selected the option Automatically name files via Document Number and Revision, the system displays a dialog box where you can assign common properties, such as document number and revision number, as explained in Create documents with unique properties.

Tip:
  • You can use the Ground All Parts option on the Mirror Components dialog box to specify whether you want a ground relationship applied to the mirrored components. When you clear this option, the components are left unconstrained.

  • When the Action column is set to Mirror on the Mirror Components dialog box, a new document is created that contains an associative mirrored copy of the original geometry.

  • When the Action column is set to Rotate on the Mirror Components dialog box, a new occurrence of the original document is placed in the assembly.

  • When you mirror a part that contains assembly features, you can specify whether the part is mirrored along with its assembly features as a non-modifiable body, or that the part is mirrored without its assembly features, and remains associative to its parent part. When you mirror a part as a non-modifiable body, you can use the Remove Override Body command to remove the assembly feature geometry from the part and make it an associative mirrored copy of the parent part.
