Question

Protoolkit equivalent for "Save as Mirror Assembly" and "Mirror part"

Hi all,
Is there a toolkit equivalent of Creo UI operation, “Save as Mirror Assembly” or “Mirror part” available? I’m trying to automate the mirroring of an existing assembly and the associated drawing using protoolkit without recreating the model from scratch? 
After the mirror operation completes, is there a way to update the existing drawing with its dimensions to reflect the mirrored geometry?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I am not recalling any way to pull this off while preserving the drawing.

If you are not finding a clean call for the Save as Mirror Assembly - Mapkeys are your friend. :)

I’ve come across this element tree but it’s not clear whether it applies in part mode or assembly mode. That being said it appears to be the only toolkit method available for mirroring. I'll give this a try and see how far I can get.
Appreciate you taking the time to point it out.
