The mirror feature doesn't appear to recognize the existence of curves.
Anyone know how to get it done?

Hi,
Can you convert entities in 3D sketch then mirror entities?
Thanks, Kyle
This works. Leaves the sketch not fully defined when I erase the other half of it, but it gets the job done.
Thanks Kyle!
Hi Ross,
No problem happy to help.
Rather than deleting the original converted entities, could you turn them to construction geometry?
EDIT - if you convert to construction geometry, you can use composite curve on the 3D sketch which will turn just the mirror in to a curve. This will leave you with your original curve and the mirrored curve, referenced to each other.
What is the application of the curve/3D sketch?
Thanks, Kyle
Don't see why converting to construction lines wouldn't work!
I use them to locate scribe lines on a cnc part. Solidworks doesn't play very nice with small cuts across a surface.
And curves also get saved into parasolids, it's a good way to give instructions to locating them to our cnc programmer as well.
