Hi and sorry for the delay in my response.
I did mirror the frame and came across a few problems.
- A few parts where fixed in the original assembly, mirror did have bit of a problem with that, and put a few of those parts “out in space”.
- The Relations where gone, so I have redo one and one part, doing Modelcheck Regenerate on Top Assembly did not do all, even if I choose All of the popup-window.
- Had a problem with an Assembly cut, I the original assembly it was ok, but when I went to the mirror, it reported error. Then when I went back to original again, it to had error on the assembly-cut. Pressed Regenerate on the original, all ok and but mirror still had the problem. I did redo the cut in original, and all the sudden it worked. All I did was to extrude a bit past the surface, even it should have been valid.
- The mirror keeps reporting that my model is not regenerated when I save, even though regenerate does not report any problems.
- The drawings is not mirrored.
- The datums is not mirrored, or you do not have access to them that I can see in the mirror, and when I need to make Section-cut for drawing, I need to manually make new ones in mirror, and that will be problematic for the next guy who is going to work on my project to know what I have done.
- I also receive this message: ModelCHECK will not run - 'NOCHECK', on Original it reports no sutch problem.
- Did also report a problem with massproperties on mirror, atm It does not show when I regenerate and save, but had that problem before the weekend, when I was at work (homeoffice atm).
So to sum it up, it was quite a few errors doing mirror, and that is a bit problematic, because it is a pretty fundamental function in a program like this in my opinion. I have been using Autodesk Inventor for 5 years, up to 2014 (started in this job april this year), and things like this is no problem at all in Inventor.
I’m starting to like PTC Creo, but it is a decade behind Solid Works and Inventor in many areas. And the drawing “module” is quite time-consuming as well, but then again it won’t let you do much other than dimensioning, on the other side that is good, since the model contains all the information.
