Only sketched assembly features can be mirrored.You can mirror single-edge flanges or contour flanges. In sheet metal parts, mirroring flanges or contour flanges created using multiedge select is not supported.When you select Mirror a solid, you can join the mirror feature to an existing body, or select New solid to create a body.A base surface feature includes derived surfaces and surfaces that are imported and promoted.Stitch features have a surface or a solid result that matches that of the original feature.Shell features and features created using the Intersect option in the Extrude dialog box cannot be mirrored individually.Removing unnecessary participants can improve feature performance. In some cases, this technique results in the automatic selection of more participants than necessary to complete the mirror feature. In the System Options dialog box, set the options and click OK. In the dialog box, set Files of type to Inventor Part (.ipt) or Inventor Assembly (.iam) and click Options.
To open an Autodesk Inventor part or assembly: Click Open (Standard toolbar) or File > Open. When mirroring assembly features, participants (components affected by the feature) are automatically chosen based on the original bounding box of the feature mirror. SOLIDWORKS imports unrecognized features as solid bodies. A mirror of the entire solid allows mirroring of complex features such as shells or swept surfaces included in the solid.įeatures can also be mirrored when a model body is in an open or surface state. You can mirror solid features, work features, surface features, or the entire solid. In a multibody part, select the solid body to attach the mirror feature to.Īny work plane or planar face can serve as the plane of symmetry to mirror selected features. You can mirror part, sheet metal, surface, and assembly features to create and maintain complex symmetrical features quickly. In an assembly, you can mirror only sketched features. A mirrored feature is a reverse copy of the selected feature.
