Hey quick question

 

I am redesigning cabinetry.  I'm setting up each of my doors as individual components.  In the case where there are two doors (components) side by side that swing away from each other, I want to mirror those. 

However, if I mirror one door, then make a change to it, it doesn't change the mirrored component. 

 

If I use copy and paste, it does update the copies... however, there is no way that I know of to mirror the copy, only rotate/translate it.

 

What's the best course of action here?  Thanks!

Beware of the timeline 😉

 

In order for the changes to be reflected in the mirrored copy you'll have to travel back in the timeline and make the changes before the mirror feature in the timeline.

Oh ok, thanks for the tip.

 

It always throws me off when certain things work one way in one mode, but a different way in a different mode.
