Re: Multi mirroring (or at least double mirroring)
There currently isn't a way to mirror in two directions with one operation. For mirroring bodies, two mirrors is probably about as good as it's going to get. However, you mentioned screws. For hardware, I usually create the holes with the Hole Wizard feature, and I typically have an independent sketch, using the Centerpoint Rectangle sketch tool. Then I place my Hole Wizard locations at the corners of this rectangle. In the Assembly I can place one group of hardware, such as a bolt, nut, and two washers, and then use the "Pattern Driven Component Pattern" function to place the rest.

Re: Multi mirroring (or at least double mirroring)
To add to what Glenn is describing with regard to placing fasteners, SolidWorks made some nice improvements to this function in SWX2017. I saw it during the roll out, but problems I've had with 2017 have kept me out of it for the time being. I do recall it was a nice improvement for placing multiple sets of a group of fastener components as Glenn is referring to.

Re: Multi mirroring (or at least double mirroring)
I heard there are many improvements coming. I will learn about it while we are waiting for a bug-free SW2017.
Thank you Dennis!!

Re: Multi mirroring (or at least double mirroring)
Thanks for your answer Glenn,
Good tips you are introducing... since the Centerpoint Rectangle (I was offsetting the outline and that was a bit annoying with rounded corners) until the Pattern Driven Component Pattern, that I simply didn't know.
Thank you so much!!
