    Hello all.
    I want to mirror a part. Sorry if this has been asked to death already.
    I want to create a new part mirrored from one already created. BUT, I dont
    want it to be linked to the original. All I can seem to do is a derived
    sort of part that wont allow me to change it. I want to be able to
    completely change the second part (not just add to it) without the first
    part be changed. Is that possible.
    Thank you all for the great information............

    Mirror, then brake external references. (in: 'in-context edit', or close to
    that, I do not know the exact term in English)

    Thanks for the info.
    I tried that and got errors on chamfer and radius. It did not mirror the
    part. Its not a very complex part either. No curved surfaces, just simple
    orthagonal geometries. How did you select the features that you wanted
    mirrored. I selected the surface to mirro about and then windowed the
    entire part to select all that I wanted.

    Tnak you
