Hi guys,

Is there a way for mirrored geometry to auto update/regen after you go back and redraw/change some geometry?

Hi blu3eyes,

Are you asking if you were to create 1 half of something (e.g., the left half of a smiley face) and then mirror it, then later go back and change the left half (e.g., change the eye from a circle to an oval), have the right half update as well? If so, I don't believe this functionality exists.

If you want that sort of function mirroring the tool path would be your route.

Please elaborate.

I mostly program lathe, what i usually do is draw half (top half), mirror, then create another level with all entities copied and proceed to dimensions everything.

Say, the next time, there is a revision changed, i go back to (top half) edit a few thing, and bottom half is updated.
