mirrored objects

[SKYBLUE]

I'M TRYING TO CREATE A LEFT AND RIGHT SLEEVE DWG. I'VE CREATED ONE SLEEVEAND MIRRORED THE OTHER, BUT I CAN'T ELIMINATE THE ORIGINAL TO CREATE TWO SEPARATE DWGS. IS THERE A WAY OF SEPARATING THE MIRRORED FROM THE ORIGINAL?

Hi Skyblue,


I think that you can use "Family Table" to do this.


Hope it useful


Best regards

you can use "layer" control which one is displayed

Hi SKYBLUE,
What u can do is open your model,
Pick Right sleeve,go to Edit-Delete.U'll be remained with Left sleeve. Save it as Left sleeve.
Next time open your original model, pick Left slleve, go to Edit-Delete.U'll be remained with Right sleeve.Save it as Right Sleeve.
Then U can create Seperate dwg. for Left and Right sleeves.
If any prob., Pl.let me know.

What you really need to do is to mirror the part entirely to make a new part not mirror all of the features to get 2 solid bodies in1 part file.


If you are working in wildfire 2 this is the method of creating a new part by mirroring.
<UL>
<LI>Make new assembly</LI>
<LI>assemble the left/original sleeve</LI>
<LI>create a component in assembly mode</LI>
<LI>make type=part and sub-type=mirror</LI>[/list]


Now you will have 2 seperate part files which you can make separate drawings of


If you are working in wildfire 3, in your left/original sleeve go to file->mirror part. This will produce a second part for you.


You do not want to these 2 parts in the same .prt file, this is bad.


good luck

Using Wildfire 2:

I would follow csusie's approach. I have used this exact method and it works fine.
