ProE 2001

I am trying to mirror a protrusion, I want one feature to be mirrored
across one plane and then acrosss and other plane to leave me with two
of the features. Can ProE do this? I can only get it to mirror it
about one plane at a time? anyone know how I can do this?

I have a mold for a forging, the feature is in the upper right corner
I want to mirror in don to the lower left corner, to do this I want to
mirror it about datum 1 and them dataum 2, Pro won't let me, I tryed
makin a plane at 45 degree and wasn't correct please help?

 

You could create a surface copy of the protrusion, transform that quilt
so that it is mirrored, and then create a protrusion using that quilt.
Repeat to mirror across an additional plane.

One of the tricks with Pro/e is to create features so that you can do things with
them down the road. So, for example, if you had created the lower right feature
referencing an on-the-fly 45 degree datum, I'm sure you could have either mirrored
using it or done a rotational pattern, 2 instances, 180 degrees apart. You can't
mirror about the 45 if the feature doesn't reference that datum. So, redefine or
reroute the feature and as the sketcher 'Top' reference, use your 45 degree datum.
Then you should be able to mirror it in one go.
