Making a part and a mirrored part

[steveastro]

I have a two identical, but mirror image, parts. What's the most efficient way of attacking the CAM process with the CAM version in Pro ?
Thanks for any tips

You could have mirrored in Alibre.
And make two parts for right and left.


Best regards.

Hi Toshi,

I have, but the stock doesn't follow the config, so I end up having to repeat all the work on one half on the identical other half.

Have you tried to save as and make one more part than using configuration?

Yes, but its not very straightforward. I was wondering what other people did.

It workedm, but you'll see from my original question was that the idea was to find more efficient ways of doing it. I've done it your way, yes it works, it is, in my view, a very poor method, because you still end up having to manipulate the job before posting it, for the reasons I explained.
