Mirror component in assembly

I see that it is possible to make a circular or linear pattern of a component in assembly, but what if I want to mirror those components instead in assembly? Is that currently possible?

    If your part studio is just a single part I would suggest making a configuration that mirrors the part in the part studio. If there is more than a single part present, you can derive the part you want to mirror into a separate part studio and mirror it there.

    A work-around that I have used successfully in such a case is to use a circular pattern with a rotation angle of 180 degrees and a pattern quantity of 2X.  The axis of rotation is first created midway between the original and the "mirrored" instance.
