Tutorial: mirror sheetmetal parts

[Giecon.nl]

Create your base sheetmetal part with the sheetmetal tools in the sheetmetal environment, save it and then:

Make new part (not sheetmetal)
menu: feature > boolean > unite and select the part you want to mirror click to place the part.
Menu: edit > commit to accept then feature > scale or mirror.

Now you have a linked mirrored version of the original part.

My bad, I chose "Mirror" instead of "Scale or Mirror". When following exactly as stated it worked! Thanks for the tip.

WOW, very nice work-around till they figure out how better to do this.

You've just saved me a major hassle with our most common design problem.
