Yes it's a 2 step process...
If you can find the perfect CAD package that does
EVERYTHING then yes...(and be sure to tell us what it is..)

put your left foot in, you put your left foot out, you chuck IV6 out the

All in all, I'm not to terribly disatisfied w/ IV6. It just seems like they missed a few BASIC things (and keep missing them through all the releases). A SIMPLE way to mirror an assembly is a good example. Hopefully SP1 will be the answer to all your prayers - we'll find out tomorrow if the Autodesk server doesn't overload. My other question still remains... are you supposed to be able to include the same IPT into different weldment IAMs and machine them w/o this persistance error?

I have found that if I make a derived part from an
assembly to use as a mirrored assembly I will use the same file name as the
assembly and just tack on "for derived" to the end of the file name. This way I
can easily find it but I can also easily tell that it's just a reference or
"dummy model" and not to use it for anything. Just my 2 bits worth.

As Charles Bliss pointed out a while ago when this topic was raised, at
what point do you stop mirroring.
Do your right hand threads become left hand threads?
What about a mirrored assembly where the same components are used, but
just re-oriented? Do we want IV to generate a whole set of duplicate
parts that are just mirror images of the original?
If it were as easy as it initially sounds, I expect we'd have had the
tools already.
Just being the devil's advocate.

You (or Charles) make a good point. I had not thought about threads (although I suspect the right answer for 99% of us is No, you don't mirror threads). Rick

I also would like to have a function for mirrored
assemblies.
assemblies.
But I think it's not that easy. Some parts in a
mirrored assembly
mirrored assembly
have to be mirrored parts. But what do you want to
get if
get if
a part in the mirrored assembly is identically to
the one
the one
in the original assembly? Similar
face=Arial size=2>parts with different part
face=Arial size=2>parts with different part
numbers? What should happen
size=2>to Fasteners?
size=2>to Fasteners?
(What's about mirrored Fasteners with
face=Arial size=2>left
face=Arial size=2>left
hand threads in the mirrored assembly?
<g>)

Just to add to Rick a little. What we would like to do and I think may work for him is to mirror the orientation of components in an assembly to create a new assembly. So the argument of threads is a valid one, but that would create new and unique part numbers.
An example would be a V-8 engine. The valve covers have 4 bolts on top symmetrically placed and 5 on the bottom symmetrically placed. Thus the and bolts that hold the cover on are identical, it's just that there orientaion is mirrored about the centerline of the engine. The parts don't mirror, just their orientation.
Just a wish item.

On a Ford maybe...Mid 70s Chevy has 2 on top and 2
on bottom, but you do have a point...<g>
