AS3 Mirror

Post by bntarc »

Could it be possible to add to assembly3 a Command for Mirror.
There is one in Solidwork assembly:
Mirror Components: https://help.solidworks.com/2018/Englis ... onents.htm
Assembly Toolbar: https://help.solidworks.com/2018/Englis ... oolbar.htm

It would be very useful for woodworking cabinet design Ex:

Thank you very much for your answer.
When I put -1 In my case the mirror is not done according to the plane I want, it is done according to XY I would like it according to XZ.
How can I ajust this?

Thank you very much for your help.

It would still be great to have a mirror command in AS3.
