I stupidly used a face instead of a plane when creating a mirrored part. The original part changed somewhat drastically, and now the mirrored part can no longer find the face. I can't seem to find a way to fix it. It wouldn't be an issue if the mirrored part hadn't already been checked into the pdm vault. Any suggestions on how to just point it to a plane to fix it, or do I need to create a new one?

That works well for features, but that option doesn't seem to exist in the instance of a mirrored part (separate model). I tried to edit the feature, but it just gives you the check boxes of what information to carry over from the parent part model. And of course, edit in context only opens the parent part model.
Jason,
Woops! I didn't read very carefully. You may have to go back in the vault to your original part, add a plane, and build the mirrored part all over again.

Yeah, fortunately my vault allows me to assign the preexisting data from the old part to the new, so I recreated to part using a plane instead of a face. Last time I'll make that mistake! Thanks for the input Jerry.

Jason,
If a plane exists that is in the right position for the Mirror feature, then I think you can just edit the feature and put that plane in the correct box. If such a plane doesn't exist, then you will have to make one at the proper position.
