This procedure is available for the Plan Plane, Elevation plane: East- West, Z Plane: fore-aft, Elevation plane: North- South, and Z Plane: port-stbd options in the Direction list on the Mirror Copy Ribbon. You cannot construct symmetrical connections for the Plane by From-To Vector option.

  1. Click Edit > Mirror Copy to display the Mirror Copy Ribbon.

  2. Place a temporary coordinate system at a point in the model.

  3. Select the plane to mirror about. (Do not select the plane constructed using the From and To Vectors).

  4. Select the destination point as the point to mirror about.

  5. Click the location you want in the model.

  6. Click Finish.

  • If errors occur, the software tracks these discrepancies and records them in the View > To Do List. Possible errors concern flow direction and listing of left- and right-handed parts. For example, if you mirrored a piping configuration and connected it to another object with a different flow direction, the software would report an error. Also, left- and right-handed parts must appear correctly on parts lists.

  • Based on reference data settings (the option Component must be replaced rather than mirroring, rotating, or copying is in the mirror behavior select list), you can replace a part with another part listed in the part properties data. If the replacement part is not available for the active specification, the command continues with the original part rotated but not mirrored.
