Workflow overview: Mirror a part
1 Create a part body to mirror. Create a work plane to serve as a mirror
plane or, if you prefer, use a planar face as the mirror plane.
2 On the Part Features panel bar, click the Mirror Feature tool.
3 On the Mirror Pattern dialog box, click the Mirror Entire Solid button.
4 Click the Mirror Plane button, and then select a work plane or planar
face.
5 Click OK.
Patterns Along Paths
Use the Rectangular Pattern tool to create patterns of features that are placed
along a 3D path. You can choose a surface or model body edge, work axis,
line, arc, planar face, work plane, spline, or trimmed ellipse as the path for
creating patterns.
Workflow overview: Create a rectangular pattern along a path
1 Create a part with a feature to pattern. Create a 3D path to use for
patterning. If desired, you can use the edges of the feature to indicate
direction for the path.
