Is there a simple way to take a document that is complete with drawing and mirror it?
Thanks!

    You can mirror a part in the part studio. But that creates a "new part" that will need to be inserted and re-detailed in a drawing.

    OnShape does not let you "Replace model in view" in drawings like you can in solidworks if that's what your asking.

    Pretty much anything you do to a part with some complexity try to mirror it. will most likely need to be (mostly if not completely) re-detailed anyways. But that goes for other cad packages too.

    That's kind of what I figured. Too bad. Hopefully this is something that can be worked on. Thanks!
