About Mirror Feature

[ASHOK CHAUHAN]

hai Friends,


I have facing problem by using mirror feature. Let I clear , I have model a part with feature curve by equation and mirror it with mirror feature, but when I change the parameter of curve its mirror has not taking updates. So I have facing problem with that. Pro-E is a parametric software I think I have done some how wrong procedure plz help me how I use parametris mirror feature.

There should be an option as you create your mirror feature as to whethermake it "dependent" or "independent".


I believe you have it set at "independent"

Actually I have give you detail of my model. First I have made a equation curve like half heart shape. and I want to mirror it so it is completed. Actually it is of roller cam profile. but when I update the relation parameterof equation curve, its mirror is not updated and remaining feature have suppressed because they are not getting updated refferences.

since you have the equation.. why not just copy it and subsitute a negative value and mirror it that way

Instead of mirroring the curve feature. Select the Geometry and mirror it.

Mirror feature does not update properly in Wildfire II. You are better off using Legacy method.


Under Applications>Legacy


Pre-Wildfire menu manager will drop down. Use Surface > Transform to select your curve and then carry out the appropriate action on it using a transform. After you have finished set the Application back to standard mode. There is no problem using this method and the part remains compatible with Wildfire.

I probably would not have mirrored that feature. Thats easy to say in hindsite but in forsite I would have not mirrored that.

I found that the 20 to 300 seconds it saves me in time is drowned in 10+ hrs at the end of the design.

Any body now if this issue as been resolved in later version of proe or Creo?

Still works the same in WF5. Use this

Instead of mirroring the curve feature. Select the Geometry and mirror it.

I agree you should avoid mirroring features but mirror the geometry itself instead. This is MUCH more stable when modifying the geometry before the mirror feature in the model tree.
