Howto mirror sketches to another face through a mirror plane

wolfgang_maier

Hello,

i have a face with sketches on it.

I have a mirror plane parallel to that face (mid plane between 2 faces).

Howto mirror the sketches to the second face?

Hi,

One way to do this is to use the "Use" tool in sketches. See https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/sketch-tools-use.htm for more information. When you create the sketch on the second face, you can then use the sketches from your first face.

You can also Feature Mirror the sketch over the mirror plane:

Select the Mirror tool and then change the first dropdown to "Feature mirror"

I want similiar thing to happen, but mirroring sketch doesn't do what I need it to -- it mirrors the sketch instead of re-building it
There are "intersect" constraints in my sketch, that would have generated points in different place, but they are not respected in the new sketch.

Is there a way to do that other than re-creating the sketch?
