okay...I'm wondering if it's just me or if others are experiencing the same thing... When I have a part that has a left and right side...I create one of them and then just mirror the part to create the other half...everything works fine with the exception of tapped holes...they transfer over, but they have some issues that renders it useless....such as going straight through the part, or going in a completely different direction... So I have to delete the feature in the mirrored part and draw in the cosmetic threads, which at the end of the day is fine but, it's not linked to the part in any way....

Anyone else seen this??

Which SW version?

I just did a couple of quick tests with SW2009-sp3 using the Insert > Mirror Part function, and experienced no problems.

Can you zip and post a pair of problem parts to play with?
