XR user here. I REALLY wish firecontrol had a “Mirror” option in addition to rotate, and scale. I know I can do the mirroring in sheetcam, or whatever CAM program I’m using, but that’s a pain. I have a bunch of .TAP files that are already programmed for my machine and material, so to have to re tool them just so I can mirror is a pain. Why is mirroring so important? When I’m trying to maximize my usage of a piece of sheet metal, sometimes mirroring can waste the least material, or squeeze a part in where it wouldn’t otherwise fit.
At the moment my only alternative is to just physically flip the sheet around
Sorry, maybe my wording wasn’t clear. I know it has rotate and scale. I was asking for Mirror to be included to compliment those two existing features which are very useful.
Duude, I am just coming to the conclusion that Mirroring would be a great addition. I am using fusion 360 and one of the programs I am drawing has a lot of lines and it is freezing up everytime I try to mirror the project. If I could draw half of it, create a g-code for half and mirror on the tail end of things it would save me alot time for sure.
I know how to mirror my drawings in 360, my computer freezes and 360 wont respond. This doesnt happen to all the things I mirror. Just the ones that have a lot of lines. It may be possible the picture I imported to draw over may be causing the issue but I havent tried without it yet.
You are correct if there is a lot of detail or a messy drawing fusion will hang when trying to mirror.
Are you trying to mirror a picture? That maybe the whole problem
Not trying to mirror a picture. So far the drawing has over 1600 lines and I am not quite done. probably going to have about 2000 lines just on one half. Alot of the lines are jointed lines to make a strange curve. I will try flipping the sheet over and doing a manual mirror. and see how that turns out.
So you can mirror a body and then project the bodies to create a new sketch. This is very simple but might be confusing without seeing it. I’ll try to post video later if I get time.
WOW, I really thank you for taking your time out your day to show me this. I have a little bit left to draw before I give this a shot. This looks like it will def help me out. Thanks again
I finally got some time to go over the video you made while I was also on 360 and all its doing is looping the first 3 seconds of the video. I am unable to watch it whole again.
