Mirroring a Mirrored Feature?

larry_hawes

Not sure how to title this post and hopefully the video explains the challenge. I was able to mirror a part twice to get the proper orientation but now need to mirror a sketch, or feature, twice to get a similar result but am stumped. Is it doable?

Thank you

Two consecutive miiror operations are equal to the rotational operation, in your case to the rotations at 180 deg. So what you need is a circular pattern of features.

Then you need circular part pattern for the part and circular feature pattern for the sketch - use two different features/

Thank but a bit over my pay grade I'm afraid. I was able to mirror a part twice because it allowed for a 'new' part but the sketch is different as you've pointed out. Would a circular pattern achieve what I'm trying to do? And it would be a pattern of a feature? I'la experiment a bit but don't really grasp the concept as it relates to this document/model.

EDIT: I think this will work and maybe even for the original part. It looks like I just need to locate the axis for the pattern in the correct location to get the alignment correct.

That really worked great Konstantin and opened up a whole new way to look at Onshape. Thank you very much for the help...
