How can I mirror/symmetry a 2D drawing in Catia?
Hello. I have a question. I have to make a 2D manufacturing drawing for 2 parts. Part and symmetry. I created my 2D drawing for the first part. But it was lots of hard work. I don't want to repeat the process for the symmetry part. Is there a way to mirror/symmetry all my views to avoid this? When I use the mirror option in Catia it only brings my views, not my dimensions. And if I try using symmetry, it tries to bring only the dimensions. Does anyone know a way to flip the hole 2D catdrawing? I attached the catdrawing. Please help me or advise me how to mirror it

I have several comments/suggestions to you question:
1. Often symmetrical parts are described with just a note on the drawing, such as "PART 1234-LH IS SYMMETRICAL TO PART 1234-RH." This is very common in the aerospace industry.
2. If you do want a complete drawing, then you will have to repeat all the drafting work and make a second drawing.
3. Instead of mirroring the drawing, it would be better to first mirror the 3D part and make the drawing based on that. Then you can add both parts into an assembly.
