Mirroring features

It looks as though currently it is not possible to mirror features. I saw a few things that would allow me to pattern to what I want will need to investigate that. My first inclination was to mirror the sketch then use it to extrude the mirrored feature. I can see where I can select a mirror line in the sketcher but curious if there is a way to select a plan when mirroring a sketch?

Currently we only allow mirroring of Parts with the mirror feature or sketch entities in sketch mirror.
We currently don't allow referencing planes in sketches but it is something we are looking at.Jake RamsleyDirector of Quality Engineering & Release Manager onshape.com5 -

No. As long as they are individual parts are valid there is no issue with overlap.Knuckledragger said:If I use mirror part and I have overlapping geometry does it matter. In some cases this would work out fine just did not know if it caused any issues for software with geometry ontop of geometry.Jake RamsleyDirector of Quality Engineering & Release Manager onshape.com5
