    When mirroring a sheetmetal part in SW2003 possibly earlier you can right
    click on the mirrored feature which is named OrigionalPart_Mirrored-> or
    something of the sort. RMB and select List External Refs. This is where
    you can select which configuration of the original part to use in the
    current configuration. (Don't ask me why they hid this here instead of
    being consistent with the rest of the software) This will then allow you to
    use exactly the flatpattern from the original part. Without having your
    drawing referencing the wrong part eliminating confusion. I think in 2004
    they made this a bit more obvious but I haven't verified that yet.

    Regards,
