I have a nest block created with a Boolean remove using a solid copy of the part to be nested that needs to be mirrored for creating the fixture for the opposite part. The fixture has 4 different nest blocks all created using the same method. Blocks 1, 3, 4, the baseplate, the part and all other items including wireframes and other geometry mirror without issue except for a couple chamfers on holes extruded at slight angles into the nest blocks.
The problem is that nest block #2 refuses to mirror giving me a "Parasolid® kernel interface error: Boolean error: Face imprinting operation failed." Everything else in the group will mirror except this one solid. I've tried deleting the Boolean operation, regenerating the solid and re-applying it. I've tried mirroring it alone without the rest of the assembly.
No success.
Is my best option to mirror the block without the Boolean remove operation and re-apply it after all is mirrored? That's what I'm thinking but was betting somebody here has run into this before. I'm also wondering why only this one block.
Have a great weekend!
