specchiare in assembly design

[peloritano]

Hello, everyone. .
I had already written this message as a question in another discussion that was completely neglected.
I now propose that we do not commit an action contrary to the regulation in which case I beg you in advance to apologize.

I have a problem with the "symmetry" command of the assembly design.........
I have to speculate a product (which I will indicate with a) containing by-products (which I will indicate with a1,a2,a4).... each of these by-products is composed of a set of capart.... eventually the product lands approximately 500 caparts......
what happens is that first I lose the original colors what for me is deleterious because the colors represent the tolerances and the type of surface finish to give with the processing.

other thing that happens is that you can speculate a byproduct at a time. .
I explain better...... when I click on the symmetry command asks me to choose a plan that I previously designed inside a catpart contained in a1.... then asks me to choose the product to speculate and here I try to select the total product to but the selection is impossible (i.e. I have to mirror a by-product at a time i.e. first a1 then a2 then a3 etc.)....
it also happens that a byproduct is not speculated (the mirror option is disabled)

re-epilogando:
someone can tell me
- how do you keep the colors when running the symmetry command in asmby design?
- is it possible to mirror only one product composed of more by-products?? ? ?
How come sometimes a product is not speculable since the mirror option of the symmetry command is not active?? ? ?

I hope you can help me

- how do you keep the colors when running the symmetry command in asmby design?

for what concerns the colors if you check the colors to the faces of a part, in the phase do simmetroa can not be replicated on the symmetia, because, the perte is realized a volume for which is a new geometric entity.
this inconvenient you can solve it if you apply symmetry to part level, and not together, after repicating the part in a new file.
while if you check a color to the body this is replicated (photo 1).

- is it possible to mirror only one product composed of more by-products?? ? ?

from the same photo you can see that I replicated the same object consisting of a cart with a wheel sub-axieme.
your problem may be related to the level where you apply symmetry.

How come sometimes a product is not speculable since the mirror option of the symmetry command is not active?? ? ?

the feature deactivation problem can be linked to an incorrect selection of the active part.
you will have noticed that a level is active when the text is in a blue frame (see photo 2), but probably at that time you have not activated the right workbach.

However, when you have to deal with symmetries, it evaluates well if the particular is of the type that can be overturned with transformations, (for which you duplichi a particular existing and rebound it with symmetry without replication of recurrence.

I hope you've been helped

Hi.

hi Ferrantio thanks for the help.... .

As for the colors, you're right, you're mirroring them at the level of the part, and it's already a good result.

I only have a doubt/problem......
my part contains geometric groups (containing planes and curves), axes and of course a body...... in the workbanch partdesign the mirror command acts only on the body.... .

Is it possible to mirror everything together? ? ?

practically what I want is to take all the feature tree and mirror it all in one blow...... is it possible or I ask too much?? ? ?

I am doing various tests but what I get consists in the fact that the body I can symmetry them in the workbench partdesign while the geometric groups can symmetry them in the workbench generative shape design but the inconvenience that I cannot symmetry the notes
(by the way, silly question, but what is the question between the mirror and symmetry command?? ? )

symmetry rebounds the detail according to a plan or a face
mirror replicate volume according to a plane or face

In fact, I know there is no way to make the symmetry of the notes unless it was introduced with the fta module.
However, the link with geometry remains active even after the symmetry command I need to orientate the note according to the new geometry.

Hi.

 

[peloritano]

As for notes, it would be enough for me to be symmetry or mirrored even if I have to read them on the contrary... it would be more than suffusent.

You can send me an example.

Hi.

 

[falonef]

for the color exists, it seems to me from the r18 an option that allows to inherit the colors qundo they copy of the documents. Maybe by activating this option the problem is solved even in your case. Let me know

 

[peloritano]

yessssssssss works perfectly....activating the options indicated by falonef the colors are maintained.......
thanks also to Ferrantio pre le explanations given.... .

I need one last aid... do I have to speculate all the notes in the drawing that I attach... any indication in this regard?? ?
