Question

Mirroring part and copy drawing

Hi,

I would like to mirror a part and give it a new item number. Let's call the first model "Model A" and the mirrored model "Model B". Is there any way to copy the drawing from Model A to Model B?

Thanks in advance,

Jason

If it is truely a mirrored part, here are a couple of thoughts.

On the drawing state that the Left Hand (or Right) is shown and that the other part number is mirrored. That way if you have changes to make, you do not have to update two sets of drawings.

Or you could use sheet two for the mirror part for views, but refer to sheet one for dimensions.

Or you could follow this discussion about copying parts and drawing:

I've been following this discussion but I'm not sure it applies. The save as mirrored part option does not give the opportunity to copy the drawing.

Dave,

Does that work for the drawings also or just the model?

Thanks, Dale

Add rename_drawing_with_object to your config.pro file

Then go to file >save as > mirror part

And it should work
