About Mirror NC Sequences
Mirror NC sequences are created by mirroring the toolpaths of one or more NC sequences. You can create a Mirror NC sequence for Mill and Mill/Turn workcells.

For CL output, mirror NC sequences are supported only in the multi-axis output mode.

A Mirror NC sequence keeps the relation with the parent NC sequence from which the former was created. If you make any changes to the parent NC sequence, Creo NC replicates the changes to the mirror NC sequence. However, unlike all other NC sequences, a mirror NC sequence does not have its own parameters and tools. All the parameters and tools used by the mirror NC sequence are inherited from the parent NC sequence.
While creating a mirror NC sequence, you can either keep the cutting conditions or mirror the cutting conditions with the parent NC sequence. For example, consider an NC sequence with the cutting condition as CLIMB. While you mirror this NC sequence, if you select the Keep option, then the resulting mirror NC sequence is also created with the cutting condition as CLIMB. However, if you select the Mirror option, then the resulting mirror NC sequence is created with the cutting condition as UPCUT.
The default option isKeep.
Creo NC also allows you to create multiple mirror NC sequences, that is, a mirror NC sequence created from another mirror NC sequence.
You can reorder the mirror NC sequence in the Model Tree. However you cannot move a mirror NC sequence above the parent NC sequence in the Model Tree. You can also modify a mirror NC sequence to change the mirror plane, keep or mirror the cutting condition, and modify the NC sequence.
