Mirror Routing objects

Use the Mirror Assembly command to mirror Routing objects such as ports and built-in paths, linear and spline segments, legacy stock, and stock as components.

You can use this command to create a symmetric routing network (original Routing assembly, mirroring plane, and mirrored assembly with paths, stock, and parts).

When you mirror a Routing assembly, NX:

  • Creates non-associative mirror objects from the original Routing objects. You can continue to set non-routing mirrored objects to be either associative or non-associative.
  • Mirrors default constraints.
  • Mirrors attributes as specified by the APV file configuration.

Note:

  • Ports and built-in paths of the components are non-associative in the mirrored assembly, even when Type is set to Associative in the Mirror Assembly wizard.
  • Mirroring segments with ribbon cable stock is not supported.

Where do I find it?

  • Application: Routing
  • Prerequisite: You must select the Assemblies check box on the Start menu.
  • Command: Assemblies tab → Component group → Mirror Assembly
