How to mirror an STL file in inventor 2016 Pro

[Anonymous]

I did not create the file but I need to mirror the STL to 3D print a matching set.  Please help, I've tried using mesh enabler to covert it to a solid but it didn't work for me.

Try this..attached

FYI... I just did it in my 3d printers software.. (CURA)

Will that give you a valid print envelope?

I was just experimenting in MeshMixer to try to improve the model.

Hi! Inventor generally lacks the ability to manipulate mesh objects. It can use it as a reference to create other geometry or drawing views but the ability to change mesh objects is limited to color or visibility. There is a free powerful mesh editing tool called Autodesk MeshMixer.

It is free to use. Please try it out.

Many thanks!
