We need to find a smart and fast way of mirroring features
from onepart to another.
I found a solution for doing this manually
Solution Id: S-04723
Question:
2) Click on the "Edit Component" button in the AssemblyToolbar.
3) Select a face on the part where you want to sketch a circle.Select the edge of the hole on the part where the hole exists, thenclick on the "Convert Entities" button on the Sketchtoolbar. This will project the circular edge to the new sketch.Create a Cut-Extrude to represent the hole.
This works but in our case we have 12 to 25 different parts withholes on top and a 2 to 3 other parts that work like alid on top of the rest. We need to mirror all of the holes frombottom parts to the lids.
It's way to time consuming to to this manually.
Is there any way of finding all the sketches in a plane andmirroring them to other parts?

Question:
An assembly has 2 components. One component has a circularcut-extrude (hole). The user wants to create a hole in the samelocation on the other part within the assembly that references theoriginal hole in the other component. Is there a way to dothis?
Answer:
1) Within the assembly, select the component where the userwants to place the new cut-extrude (hole).2) Click on the "Edit Component" button in the AssemblyToolbar.
3) Select a face on the part where you want to sketch a circle.Select the edge of the hole on the part where the hole exists, thenclick on the "Convert Entities" button on the Sketchtoolbar. This will project the circular edge to the new sketch.Create a Cut-Extrude to represent the hole.
