Don't count Mirrored parts as duplicates in Duplicate Search

[RStancescu]

When performing a Duplicate Search in Vault, mirrored parts are counted as duplicates. I don't understand this functionality as they are different parts. Please see attached a very basic examples with a part that is mirrored from another part by an origin axis. Both parts are identical, just the hole is placed on a different side which makes a different part with a different drawing.

We have several duplicates and we need to use this feature... unfortunately, we cannot differentiate in the report what parts are "normal" duplicates and which are "mirrored" duplicates. 

Again, mirrored parts are not duplicates!

Thank you for understanding and voting.

I was looking at this today, the tool finding mirrored parts as duplicates really makes it far less useful. The parts are not the same and you would never want to replace a part with a mirrored version unless they were actually symmetrical, the tool should check for that.

@BDCollett I totally agree. There is a new option in the 2022, after you complete the search it can eliminate the duplicates. Unfortunately, there are other issues... I described them in Forum.
