Mirroring sub-assemblies w/offset 1

[pamakela]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a V-engine and there is a similar sub-assembly on top of both banks on the engine. Is there a way to mirror this one sub-assembly to the other cylinder bank? And perhaps apply an offset to the mirrored copy?

Ideally, I'd like a mirrored and offsetted copy on the other bank. The copy should also be associative, so that if I add/remove components from the "parent" assembly, this change would inherit. Is this possible in NX?



Thanks!

You can do a Mirror Body and then perform a Move Object on the copy. This can all be done associatively.
