How to create Mirrored Assemblies | PTC CREO

Mirrored assemblies in PTC Creo refer to creating a mirrored copy of an existing assembly or a selected portion of it. This feature allows designers to create symmetrical parts or assemblies easily without having to manually create and position identical components.

The mirrored assembly in PTC Creo will have the same features and dimensions as the original, but with the selected components mirrored. The mirrored copy is treated as a separate entity and any changes made to the original assembly will not affect the mirrored assembly, and vice versa. You can get the complete understanding of Mirrored Assemblies and other fundamentals from our PTC Creo certification courses for engineers.

In this Tech Tip, we will explain about creation of Mirrored Assemblies in PTC Creo.
