Part mirror - icon (?)

[pkx]

Hello,

I made a part. Then I copied it without linking and made a mirror with triball. Then I done some changes making it a bit different part. At the end I assign each part a number, name and save as external file. In result I have something like that:

Parts which was created by mirror have those icons. Why? They are just different parts; with other names and saved in different files. There are no connection between edited and source part - I treated them like two different items. So - what means that icon and how I can remove it?

IC2020 - last version.

what your describing and what your image shows conflicts slightly. The tree image your showing is saying they are linked and hence showing the mirror transform symbol.

I think this is a good thing as a mirrored part is different, this can catch you out.

Can you control the displayed symbols with the following;

I know how mirror works with linked parts - icon says that this is the same part as XXX but mirrored. Clear.

But I don't understand that situation:

 

This is just a copy.

You can still apply a mirror transform onto a part, as your video shows, and the icon shows that, right click on the triball, and it shows the following menu with a mirror transform having been applied to a standalone part.

 

You can switch off the mirror transform icon in the following menu,

OK, I checked that after some operations mirror icon disappears so it's working logically.

 

Thank you.
