symmetry a catpart

[belloinside]

Hey, guys.
work in the automotive industry with catia v4, now we are going to v5 and there is something that I just can't do.
I wanted to know if there was a way to make a symmetry of a catpart by importing "family", i.e. sketches and what else of the symmetry piece, as with catia v4....

I hope I explained.

Thank you in advance.

I see that this forum is a little bit of response. . Perhaps there are very few people who know about it and who have a little time to devote to spreading.

try typing symmetry in the command looks for something out you see if it can be useful

It seems to me that you would like to create a part as a symmetry of another, to use and edit independently of the original part: practically like a "symmetrical glue" copy.
It makes no sense, in fact in this case you can do new to and place the new part symmetrically, and they will be independent.
the purpose of symmetry is also to maintain the connection.
Why do you want family?

for this just place the transformation in queue to all features.
so when you have to make changes you just have to turn off the transformation temporarily.
if you have to add differences (so no longer talk about a "symmetric" object but a derivative), these must always be placed upstream of the transformation.
if you then make more complex models my advice and to honor with sketches positioned, supported by references of axes with the appropriate conditions of father son with the reference system of departure.
so by appropriately replacing the axle system you will have the overturned geometry.
However, according to me, the first method is more sufficent, even if you need to make a contextual modeling together, since any features you need to add, to differentiate the derivative can be modeled at the same time to the axieme and added with the buleanes of together (before or after the transfoemation).

Hi.

ps. However from my point of view, it cannot be defined as a symmetric object if then I have to differentiate it from the model that generates it.
