Hi.

I searched but didn't find anything on this.

I am very familiar with the Mirror Assembly command. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to mirror a large assembly (with multiple sub-assemblies) via the command prompt or any other method so that it is it's own independent assembly complete with the original parameters. Just mirrored. So that in the feature navigator, everything is still parameterized, it is all just mirrored from the source assembly.

The problem I have is I have a 300+ detail assembly and just another one to do just like it but mirrored with a couple minor changes. It would be awesome If there was something like clone assembly that mirrors everything from the original with the complete history still in the feature tree.

Thanks in advance.

i am not sure exactly what it is you are looking for, The response below might be ....
NX cannot mirror the "parameters and constraints" of a parametric model, the mirror object will be a associative link to the original object.
I.e If you in the original model have fully dimensioned and constrained sketch with the shape "b" ,
NX cannot create a fully dimensioned and constrained mirror "d".
the "d" will not have any dimensions nor constraints, it can be driven from the "b" sketch, or be non associative.

Regards,
Tomas
