With the face you plan to use as the plane of symmetry selected, go to Insert > Mirrored Part. This step must be done for the command to even become available. Have the SOLIDWORKS part you wish to mirror open and, prior to selecting the mirror command, have a plane selected to be the plane of symmetry. Method #2: Mirrored Part, Derived Version With the body now deleted, the process is complete and you can toggle between the right-hand and the left-hand configurations within the part. Once the newly created mirror body is created, you can then delete the initial part with a delete bodies command. Note : Be sure to uncheck Merge Solids if you do not want the two bodies to be merged together. For this instance, we will use the Bodies to Mirror option. There are a few different options depending on what you are mirroring:Įach option will mirror the selection you choose. Select a face that will serve as the plane of symmetry for the mirror.
Within that configuration, select the Mirror option from the CommandManager. In this instance, we will call it LH (Left Hand). With the SOLIDWORKS part you want to mirror open, create a configuration and give it a name. The second method creates a derived part, using the mirror part command. The first method stores a mirrored version of the same part.
In this guide, we'll show how to mirror parts in SOLIDWORKS using two different methods.
