Component Mirror command shows in timeline but no mirrored component is created

[unicorn9004]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a robot figure project and having a strange issue with the Mirror tool.

I can mirror bodies without any issues, but mirroring components is not working. When I try to mirror a component:

1. The mirror dialog opens correctly.

2. I select the 'Pattern Type' as components.

3. I select the component and the mirror plane, then click OK.

4. The Mirror command appears in the timeline, but no mirrored component is generated in the Browser or the Canvas.

To iterate on my design, I used "Save Copy As" on a specific component (the head) from my original assembly to create a new standalone file. I am now working within this new file. Could this workflow be causing the issue?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If this were my design:

1. Each and every sketch would be fully defined.

2. Ctrl b would not report any unresolved issues.

3. I would probably not have any Move commands or at least not multiple Move commands for the same move.

4. I would have one Grounded Component.
