Copy or Mirror Sheet Metal Tab Subtractions
Hello,
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to either copy or mirror sheet metal tab subtractions.
I have a pan that requires stiffening. A rib was created that runs most of the length of the pan on one side. I added tabs and subtracted the slots in the pan.
In the assembly I would like a rib on either side of the pan. I do not need two rib parts but I do need the slots in the pan. Therefore, I would like a simple way to transfer the slots on one side of the pan to the other. It seems like to copying or mirroring the tab slots to the other side of the pan would be an easy way to do this. Is there a simple way to create the slots?
Here is the model: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/184fb4ae766a60da4742040c/w/e8baf8d317b8abdbe374d361/e/629011f22dfffd98c90e6a19

Cheers.
"tedious" because of selection ? Have you tried create selection functionality ?
Box-selection also works in this case.
