Mirror feature not aligned

Anonymous

Hello, I'm kinda new to Fusion and designing currently a case for my raspberry pi and created a snap joint on one side.

To add it on the other side, I choose the mirror tool, set it to feature and selected the first extrude to create the cutout. 

However, it is not properly aligned. And I do not know why.

I tried to select the component and align it to the Z axis. But it did not solve the issue.

Please attach your Fusion 360 model so the Forum users can assist you with your file.  To attach your file, open it in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save it to your hard drive. Then attach in to a forum post using the Attachments section.

I do not find any case in the Fusion 360 file that your attached.  It is only contains the PC board and components.

Activate the Case component, go to the first sketch and constrain it to the origin to center the sketch.  This will align the mirror plane and give you the alignment you need.

One problem is the warning in the timeline for the capture position.

Next problem is your part is not symmetrical around the document origin. Above I created a mid plane using the outside faces of the part and you can see it's 0.213mm off centre.

 

One bit of advice, you should not have any capture position s in your design, if you need to position a component use a joint. And for this design there should be no problem creating the bodies in the correct place from accurate sketchs.
