Hello
I use NX 12 and when i try mirror any body with "Mirror Geometry" or "Extract Geometry" and choose the option "Mirror Body", i lose colors.
The only way that i found is create a assembly with that body and use "Wave Geometry Linker" and choose the option "Mirror Body" because is the only command that have the option to select "Use Display Properties of Parent Part"
I wanted to know if there is any way to keep the colors using "Mirror Geometry" or "Extract Geometry"

I'm using NX11 but hopefully this is still active. My model preferences are set like this:

This is the result I get using Mirror Geometry:

You saved me

On the "Display Properties for new Geometry", i had on all 3 the second option.
I didnt have this problem on NX11 but i didnt know where was the option

Thank you alot
