Long story short is , I am cutting double sided injection molds . So what I've been doing is model the one side , then create the toolpaths , then I save it as side one .
Once that is saved I then mirror the part and end up going thru to whole delicate process of resetting the stock with the stock wizard and re choosing all of the geometry for each the toolpaths that I previously created . Now over the weeks I've learned to do this in a delicate manner as I had stated , otherwise , I've found far too often that if I deviate in any way then without warning I'll be facing a crash and loss of work .
My question is , Is there a better way to mirror this and not have to go thru picking up all of the geometry again , and resetting that stock wizard .
I'm hoping that there is a more efficient way of accomplishing this ( something I'm missing , maybe a cheat) . I'm doubtful there is but I thought I'd ask anyhow
