Mirror Tool Guides
The following tool guides help step you through the process. Use the Tab key to cycle through them. As soon as the tool guide switches, the cursor may change to reflect the active guide.
| Mirror Plane | The Mirror Plane tool guide is active by default. Select a face or plane to use it as a mirror. (You can also use this tool guide to select another mirror plane to use if one is already selected. |
| Mirror Body | The Mirror Body tool guide activates automatically once you select a mirror face or plane. Mouse over the solids in your design to preview the solid that will be created by the mirror. Click a solid to mirror it. |
| Mirror Face | Once you select a face or plane to use as a mirror, use the Mirror Face tool guide to select the faces you want to mirror. Mousing over the faces before you click them previews the face that will be created by the mirror. Click a face to mirror it. |
| Mirror Component | The Mirror Component creates a left-hand transform and does not create a mirror relationship between the two components or subassemblies. |
| Setup Mirror | The Setup Mirror tool guide can be used any time to create a mirror plane between two faces. Only those two faces will be affected by the mirror. To create a relationship among many faces, Ctrl+select faces and then select a mirror plane to auto-detect identical faces equidistant from the mirror plane. |
| Remove Mirror | Use the Remove Mirror tool to remove the mirror relationship between faces. You can select to faces with a mirror relationship, or use box-selection to select any number of mirrored pairs. |
