How to mirror a part using Xform
- With your Mastercam part file open, select the geometry you wish to mirror
- Open the Xform mirror tool by going to Xform>Mirror
- With the mirror dialog box open, you have several options to choose from (I chose to copy about the Y axis)
Note: You also have the option to move, copy, or join entities.
Options include:
- Move, copy, join
- Mirror about the X or Y axis
- Mirror about an angle
- Mirror about a line
- Mirror about two points
- Select “Ok” and verify that selected entities have been properly mirrored
