Mirroring Shapes (Parts, Holes, Blocks, etc.)

This section explains how to mirror-copy shapes.

Object:

  1. Part
  2. Features (hole, Extrude, etc.)
  3. Assembly
There are two main methods to perform a mirror copy:

Method 1: Using the [Feature] Command

[1] Set the selection filter at the bottom right of the IRONCAD screen to [IntelliShape].


[2] Select the shape to be mirrored (part, hole, block, etc.).

[3] Click [Mirror Feature] in the [Feature] tab.

[4] Specify the mirror plane or point.
Example: In the image, the midpoint of an edge is specified.


[5] Click [OK].
Notes
The Mirror function under the [Feature] tab applies only to IntelliShape models (features).
[1] Select the shape to be mirrored (part, hole, block, etc.).

[2] Activate the TriBall.

[3] Press the [Space] key to move the TriBall to the desired mirroring location.
Notes
The TriBall will appear white during position adjustment.


[4] Press the [Space] key again to fix the TriBall position.
Notes
The TriBall will turn blue.

[5] Right-click on the direction handle.


[6] Select [Mirror] → [Copy] or [Link] from the context menu.


Notes
Mirror Copy of TriBall can be used for all objects.
