works if it is a part but if I have an assembly that I want to get the mirror
part derive part wouldn't give me the option of mirroring the part.

It worked. Now will IV7 or SP2 have a way to accomplish this task simpler?

There have been several discussions about
this. If you mirror the whole assembly at what point do you stop?
Do you make left hand threads right hand threads? Is EVERY part mirrored
or just most? It gets to be a sticky wicket.
You might want to check this out. I haven't
used it yet however...

Agreed, Sean. From a programming
perspective, mirroring an assembly is MUCH more difficult than it
sounds. As I'm sure you're aware, that application from cadstudio
doesn't maintain assembly constraints, and that would be the difficult
part. I thought about writing an addin to do exactly that a while
ago but realized very quickly that maintaining the assembly constraints would
be next to impossible - especially if the assembly to be mirrored contained
subassemblies.

Does anybody know how Solidworks
handles this? I know SW can mirror parts and assy's but what are the
"problems"? (if there are any)
