Showing a part/subcomponent as mirrrored without creating new files? 2

[Tarthrin]

This question is related to the symmetry function of CATIA v5.

We have some thermistor wires that are the same part in the real world. In the CAD they are routed symmetrically from each other. I want to show the second part in the right place/orientation, but without creating a new part document (it messes with our PLM system BOM)

We also can't use the variant feature in CATIA if it creates new geometry.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hello Tarthrin,

It is logical that the part features are not display after activation of any Non-Default-Representation . Actually what you have is an instance of a part with the representation of another.
Now, the issue of non show of the Non-Master-Representation, try to associate the attached CATShape file as a representation of an instance and let me know if it displays or not.
