Just wondering how others handle handed parts and assemblys in Solidworks; when it comes to things like naming them, making drawings for them and how they appear on the BOM?
I am a big fan of using the mirror part functionality in SolidWorks. I then assign a XXXXXXX-001 and XXXXXXX-002 number to the left and right respectively. As far as the parts list goes on the assembly. I would have qty X of XXXXXXX-001 and qty Y of XXXXXXX-002

I look forward to the day Solidworks successfully mirrors cosmetic threads. Every new release I check to see if there is progress, and every new release I've been disappointed.
At least it doesn't leave the threads hanging in space anymore!
