I am detailing bathrooms for large developments. I have two instances when I want a mirrored view of an assembly.
1. Architects use a RCP (Reflected Ceiling Plan) to show the ceiling detail. Its a view looking down but showing the ceiling detail as you would see it reflected off the floor. I cant replicate this view.
2. I often need an exact mirror image of the same bathroom assembly. Typically to create the mirrored view layout drawings I export the arrangement drawings to AutoCAD and mirror the views there and keep the mirrored version as autocad files. It becomes a pain when things change as they are not parametric.
Ive put in an enhancement request but are there others that would benefit from being able to mirror a view at the drawing stage.
Russell, if you are using AutoCAD for mirrored views, then you really don't need AutoCAD. You can make an unlinked mirror view in SOLIDWORKS by using the Convert View to Sketch command in the right-click menu on a drawing view. Convert the view to a block and place the block on the drawing. Explode the block and then mirror the sketch.
Do you need to have the view linked to the original geometry?
Also, what is your expectation for RCP?
