Check if Part is a mirrored part

[wolfgang_nickl]

Hello together,

I looked for a way to check if a Part is a mirrored part. I didn't find a solution here, but after some tests I found a way that works for me. Perhaps someone needs this too.  The following VBA sub shows it. When you mirror parts in Inventor the first DirevedPartComponet has a Property mirror.  A derived component where you select the option mirror while you create it has it too, But in this case it could also be the second or other DirevedPartComponent.

Sub subWNtestMirrorpart()
    Dim oDoc As PartDocument
    Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    Dim isMirror As Boolean
    On Error Resume Next
    isMirror = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.ReferenceComponents.DerivedPartComponents.Item(1).Definition.Mirror
    On Error GoTo 0
    If isMirror Then
        MsgBox "mirrored part"
    Else
        MsgBox "Not mirrored part"
    End If
End Sub

Best Regards

Wolfgang

Handy.
I'm trying to get it to iLogic but it doesn't really work.
I can't see .Mirror in iLogic
Tips?

You need to cast the definition to DerivedPartUniformScaleDef.
