Assembly Mirror 
Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

Copy components by mirroring them about a plane.
This function is used to mirror entire assemblies or sub-assemblies with respect to a selected plane, while maintaining their structure.
The mirroring can be performed either by creating new parts (Geometrically Mirrored Parts), or, if the parts to be copied are symmetric, by adding new instances and placing them in mirrored positions (Positionally Mirrored Parts). When positionally mirroring assemblies, the system automatically determines whether to mirror or simply copy and rotate an assembly, based on whether it is symmetrical or non-symmetrical.
