Mirror/Flip
You did not specify but I am assuming you want it mirrored about the length. If not let me know. I used the technique outlined in this Blog Article and Video. Model is attached.

Here is another version that isn't self explanatory 😉
You'll have to be a bit more specific on how you want to use these mirrored Angles.
@jhackney1972 and my solution are almost identical.
I first create a copy of the existing body.
Then I scale that body non-uinformly to -1 along the Y-Axis, which effectively mirrors it across the XZ-plane.
However, this is tricky as Fusion does not allow you to type -1 into the field. hose fields only allow positive values.
To circumvent this, I first create a user parameter with a positive 1 scale value
Then I replace the fixed value in the YH-Filed with the user parameter and accept with OK.
Now I go back to the user parameter Panel and change the scale_factor to -1.
I now have the original and mirrored body.
Then I converted the two bodies into components.
Since you asked me directly, I will be happy to create a video. How you handle the body/component will be up to you. I created a small assembly and added your original component to it first and then the video picks up to create the component mirror as a new UNIQUE component in the assembly. This is the same process I used in the Blog Article and Video I sent earlier. I did not attach my model as it will probably be of no use to you.
By the way, you mentioned AutoCAD in one of your earlier post. Please not the proper name for the application.

If you keep both angles as bodies, in the Manufacturing Environment, you new setup will be directed to the mirrored angle using the Stock Tab under setup. Select the new body. If this is not what you need, attach your model you are taking to the Manufacturing environment.

No, but you can view them over again if you like by following the process outlined in the attached video. The only problem with this method is that Autodesk does not offer indexing of the videos, the only thing they do is place them in order they were posted by time. So if you go to my videos, today, and click on page 80 you will see the video I posted today on the Forum.
