mirror both sides

[Anonymous]

I actually have several questions: 

1.  is there  a rule of thumb that you should always start with an inside or outside dimension first.  

2.  Is it best to build this as a cylinder (because I want to make the 3 hole pattern in the middle and need an axis) or as a circle. 

3.  when I am press pulling an object how do I achieve this on both sides at one time.  (I tried the midplane on the center circle)  it didn't work because the program included the in hole cylinder dimension which resulted in one side being longer than the other. 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous,

To you questions:

1. Nop.

2. I will create the profile and use the Revolve. Then I'll create the holes.

3. Don't understand why you need the press pull in this model. If you create a profile, then you won't need to press pull anything.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Cheers / Ben

Are you familiar with reverse-engineering the feature history? (see attached)

Use the Origin geometry (Z Axis) whenever possible in preference over sketch geometry or feature geometry.

I tend to model parts in a manner similar to how I would machine them on the lathe and milling machine.

Could you explain what you mean by this in more detail?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I hope this helps. I haven't used the real dimensions!:
