Mirror

The Mirror command mirrors one or more features of the In Work body and positions this feature in the same In Work body, fully maintaining the functional behavior of the duplicates.
Open the Mirror.CATPart document.

  1. Click the Mirror icon. The Mirror dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select Pocket.1 in the Features to mirror field.

  3. Set ZX plane as Mirroring element.
    • Using a plane to mirror a body lets you obtain two independent portions of material in a same body.
      The following mirror is obtained by using plane zx as the reference.
    • When editing a mirror feature, contextual commands creating the mirror references you need are now available from the Mirroring element field:
      • Create Plane: for more information, see Creating Planes
      • XY Plane: the XY plane of the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0) becomes the mirroring element.
      • YZ Plane: the YZ plane of the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0) becomes the mirroring element.
      • ZX Plane: the ZX plane of the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0) becomes the mirroring element.

      If you create any of these elements, the application then displays the corresponding icon next to the Mirroring element field. Clicking this icon enables you to edit the element.

  4. Click OK.
