Component floats after mirroring

[MartinHnv]

Hi!

I tried to mirror component in assembly unfortunately mirrored component stays a float. Does anyone knows how is possible maintain relations for it within mirroring action?


Thanks !

By default it is just placed at a mirrored location. I would recommend creating a symmetric mate and some coincident mates after the mirrored part is created.

Even more, I recommend NOT creating the mirror component in the context of the assembly. I would create the mirror part directly from the base part. Then insert the newly created mirror part into the assembly and mate it appropriately. This eliminates the link to the current assembly. There was a post recently discussing the woes on that situation.

It would be a good suggestion to send to SW. I also wish it would maintain relations, although I don't use it often.
