How do I mirror this feature?

I can't figure out how to mirror the chamfered face around the mid plane on this simple part.

I would mirror the triangle drawn in the 45° chamfer sketch:
Edit the 45° chamfer sketch.
Project (Use) the top line of the hex part.
Draw a middle normal line to it, use it as the mirror line
Mirror the triangle.
Rotate both triangles.

Thanks Guys.  Much appreciated.  

It would appear that in OS, you can mirror sketches or parts, but not features.  I think this calls for a "Feature" request to support, no pun intended!!

@chris_155  Feature mirror/pattern has already been marked as feature request. @lougallo can add you into that request.

You can also mirror faces... (check a box and pick the faces to mirror)

 but at present there are stringent limitations on what faces can be mirrored, for instance, your chamfer "didn't make the cut", so to speak.

Just to remember, face mirror has to be done within one part. Part studios easily make one forget that there is many parts involved.
There is request also for multipart support for mirror/pattern features.
