Where can I find advice like "avoid mirror outside of sketching"? I have many times been wondering what is the best practice of at which step to do mirroring and patterning. My own reasoning has been to do it as late as possible, as I feel that is less work and makes changes easier. For example, if I make a pattern of 10 x 10 in a sketch and then make some feature for that pattern, then I have to repeat that feature 100 times, instead of first making the feature once and then patterning it 10 x 10.
If you look at the design, everything is correctly threaded despite the mirroring. It doesn't mirror the threads, it mirrors the hole feature, which doesn't invert the threading. Why would it? And the bolts are copies, not mirrored. I appreciate all advice from those with more experience than me, and I'm always looking to improve, but I feel you were a little fast on the trigger. 😉
How would you pattern the spacing of the M8 bolts in the sketch:

Edit: On second thought, please don't reply. This is getting off-topic discussing how to design, instead of discussing the bug. Let's keep this thread reserved for the joint bug so that it doesn't get cluttered with two discussions.
