| Mirror
Type |
Determines the rotation of axis. Select an option:
|
Center of bounding box
|
Positions the mirror so that the center of a bounding box
for the selected components mirrors about the mirror plane. Use this option for asymmetric components. It encompasses
the mirrored component in a bounding box and calculates its orientation to
the bounding box center.
|
|
Center of mass
|
Positions the mirror so that the center of mass of the
selected components mirrors about the mirror plane.
|
|
Component
origin
|
Mirrors a component instance about the component origin
of the selected reference plane. This instance is not an opposite-hand
version.

| Dynamic Help |
Displays detailed help when you hover over the controls.
|
| Orient
components |
Adds instances of existing components. Select
an item in the component list and click an orientation option.
|
X mirrored, Y mirrored
|
Mirrors the X and Y axes about the plane.
|
|
X mirrored and flipped, Y
mirrored
|
Mirrors the X and Y axes about the plane with the X-axis
direction reversed.
|
|
X mirrored, Y mirrored and
flipped
|
Mirrors the X and Y axes about the plane with the Y-axis
direction reversed.
|
|
X mirrored and flipped, Y mirrored and
flipped
|
Mirrors the X and Y axes about the plane with the X and Y
axes direction reversed.
|
|
Create opposite hand version
|
Creates new components that are mirror-images of existing
components. Select an item in the component list and click Create opposite hand version
. The icon  appears beside the item
to indicate that you are creating an opposite-hand version of it. Use this
option to create a true mirror of nonsymmetrical components.

|
| Component
Orientation Axis |
|
Align to component origin
|
Calculates the component orientation by mirroring and flipping about the X
and Y axes of the component.
|
|
Align to
selection
|
Calculates the component orientation by mirroring and
flipping the component about the local X and Y axes. In the calculation, X
is parallel to the mirror plane and Y is normal to the face or plane that
you select in Alignment Reference. A second reference triad appears in the graphics area and
shows the X and Y rotation axes for the seed and the mirrored component.
The axes change as you click the orientation icons.
Alignment
Reference
Specifies an entity to align the up axis of the
orientation axes. Available when you select Align to selection.You can select the
following items as references:
- Planes or planar faces that are perpendicular to
the mirror plane.
- Linear edges or linear sketch segments that are
parallel to the mirror plane.
Click Flip
alignment reference direction
 to flip the direction
of the reference.

| Synchronize movement of flexible
subassembly components |
Synchronizes the movement of the components of
the mirrored instance with the components of the seed flexible subassembly. When
you move components in the seed flexible subassembly, components in the mirrored
instance also move, and vice versa. |
| Isolate selected
component |
Hides all the mirrored components except the
mirror of the selected component, so you can more easily examine its
orientation. |
