https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/symmetrical-pattern/m-p/5775388#M364109 <P>So, for this do i create a pattern going one way and then mirror it about the centerline? My experience with mirroring has been in models and I don't like how once you mirror something you then have to ground it and it's stuck. Then if you need to change the location of something slightly, you have to delete the mirror and remirror it.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I find a lot lacking in inventors patterning functionality. And everyone's answer is mirror. It just seems that autodesk uses mirror as a big deflector when it comes to looking at improving their software.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>But enough of that, I'll work with the mirroring and see how things go. It's not as troublesome as when you use mirroring in a model right? If I mirror a pattern of planes, the mirrored planes aren't floating in space, the way a mirrored part is, is it?</P> Tue, 18 Aug 2015 09:10:40 GMT JimmyDoe 2015-08-18T09:10:40Z
