When creating a mirror of a large assembly, I want to create opposite hand versions for some components and just copy/orientate other components that do not need a RH/LH version.
This issue is that when I use the mirror command with an assembly with ~350 parts, some of the sub-assemblies can be mirrored show in the preview (yellow transparent), but not all. The same thing goes for the list that is used when selecting wich components should be copied/orientated and which components should be mirrored.
There's a descrepency between both the preview, component list, and final mirrored asssembly.
I can assure that it does not have anything to do with memory (12 GB ram, 64-bit).
The command does work with the same components when mirrored at the sub-assembly level.
Any assisstance would be helpful.
Thanks,

I've had similar issues and I too have 12Gb RAM and 64bit, actually way too many to mention here. When I had the same mirror issue I re-mirrored the sub-assembly within the major assembly and made sure the break link box was checked. Then opened the mirrored sub-assembly and suppressed the items I did not need. Now mind you, there were several items that turned red, but I took care of those within the that same mirrored sub which now became its own editable entity. Also, I could replace any components that were different from the original (I had a door which needed to have an opening for an exhaust transition.
Hope this helps with your issue.
