2.34. -After selecting the "Front Plane" from the fly-out FeatureManager,

SOLIDWORKS automatically activates the "Features to Mirror" selection box

(now highlighted) and is ready for us to select the feature(s) we want to mirror. If

the 'Front Boss' extrusion was pre-selected before activating the Mirror command,

it is automatically added to the "Features to Mirror" selection box; otherwise, we

need to select it either from the FeatureManager or in the graphics area.

When selecting features from the graphics area be sure to select a face that

belongs to the feature. When traversing the FeatureManager with the

mouse pointer, notice how SOLIDWORKS highlights the features in the

screen before selecting it.
