One followup: How is the remove feature button in edit mirrored task supposed to work? In example file, I was able to add the pad to the mirror using add feature (and then go back to combo view and select the pad). using different colors for positive and negative geometry, so that it is possible to display negative geometry at all. So I reasoned that mirroring that item will mirror the pad too.įurther improvement might be to show only a visual highlight of the selected item, for any feature type. This is quite confusing, as I reasoned in case above, that the pocket item in combo view actually represents everything, the pad including the pocket. Even if there are more pads above the pocket, which are not related to that pocket at all, they become all highlighted.

If a pad or pocket is visible and selected in combo view, in 3d view all combined geometry up to that pad or pocket is highlighted, not just the feature itself (probably applies also other feature types). If a sketch or origin is visible and selected in combo view, only a visual highlight of the sketch or origin is shown in 3d view (wireframe of sketch or wireframe of plane) My confusion came from the visual highlighting of the pocket in the 3d view: I have to select the pad as well as the pocket in combo view and mirror that. Ah thank you very much! Now I seem to understand.
