Handling Handed parts

[mrkoko]

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?

Bradley,
I have actually seen a left handed adjustable wrench. The scroll worked in reverse.

Probably made in England. LOL! CBL - I love many English things. The cars, the beer, the humour & etc. Some English things are, well, just unusual.

CorBlimeyLimey,
I suppose you’ve seen the muffler bearing I had to go ask for as a youth?

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

Of course. The Muffler Bearings used to be kept on the shelf below the Blinker Fluid.

Talk about getting off the thread topic! Oh well, it is Friday - have a great weekend guys

Back to the topic of mirrored parts.

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!

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

Mirrored Cosmetic Thread works fine for me with SW08-SP3.

CBL,

Does the hole callout of a threaded hole in a mirrored part include the threads in 2008 SP3?

The Annotations' Hole Callout does not, but the HWs' Thread Callout does.
