Mirror ops

This feature mirrors selected geometry and toolpath. Select one or more ops and the Plug-in will make copies of these with the toolpath mirrored in X or Y. The toolpath can be reversed or modified to maintain the same G41/42 direction so the tool will continue to cut on the same (left/right) direction.

Mirror Type:

This selection Mirrors the selected item(s) in part units from the coordinate system origin either Vertically or Horizontally by a specified distance.

Workgroups:

There are three available Workgroup options. When the Use Same Workgroup option is selected all new mirrored geometry will go into the same workgroup as the original geometry. If One New Workgroup option is selected a new workgroup called either "Mirror X" or "Mirror Y" will be created and all new geometry will be put into the new "Mirror X" or "Mirror Y" workgroup. If a Mirror workgroup already exists, new geometry will be placed in the existing Mirror workgroup. The Separate New Workgroups option creates a new workgroup for each workgroup used by the original geometry, adding the "Mirror X" or Mirror Y" to the start of the original workgroup for the new workgroup name.

Contour and Pockets

Keep Same Tool Side (G41/G42) will keep the tool on the same side after the mirror operation.
