Mirror a Cut through multiple solid bodies

I think I have given up in the past and simply created this in other ways but now I want to figure out if there is a way to do this.  I have a sheet of 1/2" tempered glass (could be anything made up of more than 1 solid body) made up of 3 solid bodies.  I have made some cuts (extrusions) on one end that go through all 3 solid bodies and want to mirror it about an origin plane.  Is there any way to do this and have the cuts go through all 3 solid bodies in one operation or do I continue to have to perform the mirror command 3 times?

Thanks,

I have been doing a lot of multi-body work myself lately.

For my needs I seem to be leaning towards mirroring sketches, and using ifeatures.

I'm not sure if this helps you, I know what you mean about doing multiple mirrors. Mirroring fillets seems impossible for me as well, all other features will mirror except the fillets.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply.  I would rather not mirror sketches if I don't have to and mirror features instead.  It may be the only way though...

I searched the Inventor IdeaStation forum for existing proposals, didn't find any, created one myself.  Please add kudos to this idea if you would like to see this changed in future versions.
