Mirroring a feature on a solid

The Mirror command copies solids and features by mirroring them about a plane of symmetry.

You can mirror the selected solids or features about one or two planes. When mirroring about two planes, the selected features or solids are reflected about the first plane of symmetry, and then both the original objects and the copies are reflected about the second plane.

1 When you start the command, you are prompted to select a feature. Select the features you want to mirror. To reselect the feature, click on Base Entities in the selection list and select the feature again.

2 Select the Second Symmetry Plane check box.

3 In the First Symmetry Plane drop-down list, choose the method used to define the plane of symmetry, and then select the entities to specify the first plane.

4 In the Second Symmetry Plane drop-down list, choose the method used to define the plane of symmetry, and then select the entities to specify the second plane.

5 If necessary, click More Options to specify additional options.
Use the Mode drop-down to control the way in which the copies are created.
Note that if you had selected solids instead of features, the Joined Copies check box would have been displayed instead of the Mode drop-down list. By selecting the Joined Copies, copies created by the command are joined into a single solid. When the box is not selected, each copy is created as a single solid.
6 Click or to confirm your selections and mirror the solids or features. Click to discard your changes.
