2.32. -The next step is to create an identical extrusion in the opposite side of the

'Housing'. The "Mirror" command will create an identical 30 copy of the extrusion

we just made. Switch to an Isometric view to help us visualize the Mirror's preview

and make sure we are getting what we want. Select the "Mirror" command from

the Features toolbar in the CommandManager.

about a face or a plane.

2.33. -From the Mirror's PropertyManager, we must make two selections. The first

one is the Mirror Face or Plane and the second is the feature(s) we want to make

a mirror of. The face or plane that will be used to mirror the feature has to be in the

middle between the original feature and the desired mirrored copy. By making the

first extrusion centered about the origin caused the default "Front Plane" of the

'Housing' to be in the middle of the part, making it the best (and only) option for a

Mirror Plane in this case.
