nx8.5 sketch mirror function

[Ehaviv]

Hi

The mirror function in nx8.5 is improved over nx6 mirror
it has 1 constraint symbol instead of many in nx6

but I was expect that when I delete the constraint
the mirrored curves also do

Is there a way to delete the mirrored curves in 1 shot

Thanks in advanced

No. Deleting a Sketch constraint has never deleted the associated curves, so why did you expect the Mirror constraint to be any different?

Hi John

Thank you for the response

because this constraint build the mirrored curves in its operation
and I expect that when I delete the constraint I'l be asked
if I want to delete the mirroed curves also (an option its nice no!?)

I'm thank you again

Sometimes I feel better mirroring the solid body created by the sketch instead of mirroring the sketch and creating another body from that, but I realize that is not always possible.

Hi Jerry

You right but sometimes you need mirroring as a short way to achive the target shape
and maybe use extrude or revolved to build your solid body

Thank you for your response

Let's just say that we opted for consistency and leave it at that.

And to that point, there are other situations where additional curves are added to a sketch as part of a 'constraint' operation such as when a curve(s) is offset or a 'Pattern' of sketch curves is created. In those cases as well, deleting the constraint does NOT delete the additional curves that were part of that constraint scheme.

Ok I accept that

Thank you very much
