The Mirroring of Features Is Enhanced

Enhancements to the Mirror tool in Creo Parametric 5.0.0.0 result in faster definition and redefinition of the Mirror feature. A preview in the graphics window is provided during feature creation or redefinition for immediate visual feedback on the geometry. In addition, a feature collector is added which alerts you if source features are missing. When you select the Reapply Mirror check box, missing features are removed from the definition. Furthermore, the feature collector gives you the freedom to add or remove features when reapplying the mirror operation.

Tips:	• You can easily add or remove features from the mirror operation. ◦ Select the Reapply Mirror check box on the Mirror tab. With Mirrored features active, press CTRL and select features from the graphics window to be removed or added. ◦ If source features are deleted, they are not included in the Mirrored features list. ◦ If target features are previously modified, modifications are lost. • When references of mirrored features need to be redefined, they are visible in the feature collector. See the example below: • From the shortcut menu, use Fix to access the corresponding feature to replace references where needed. • It is recommended to first add and remove features to the Mirrored features collector before using Fix.
Limitations:	This workflow enhancement is only available in Creo Parametric part mode and is not supported in combination with the option Fully dependent with options to vary.
