Question

Save as an assembly mirror

I created an assembly using skeleton and I want to create a mirrored copy. I tried to save as a copy but I think that due to the complexity, the result presents errors. I just want to save it as a mirror, but it could be as an IGES part. I'm saving an iges and opening the iges and mirroring it, but in Windchill this process is slow. Is there any more direct way to do this?

I am assuming that you saved the assembly as a mirror as outlined here: About Mirroring Assemblies (ptc.com)

 

If that is not working, then consider simplifying the mirror operation. If the components are all constrained to the skeleton for location/orientation you can try mirroring the skeleton only and assembling to the mirrored skeleton.

Thanks for the answer!

And if I have flexible components, will the mirror command have more difficulty generating?

I have no experience with mirroring flexible components. I would suggest making a simple assembly as a test case to understand what happens with flexible components when mirrored.
