Autodesk Inventor Question
 

Is there any method used to make a mirrored assembly that is derived from another assembly?

My setup:

"DriveModule (Assembly)" -> One drivetrain, or one half of my drive base

Drivetrain Assembly -> After placing "DriveModule" I would like to both mirror it (I know how to mirror) and make the new mirrored assembly update whenever I edit "DriveModule." from what I've read this is an obvious feature in Inventor 2012, but I am using Inventor 2011. Can anyone help me with this?

SOLVED:

Here is the solution if anyone else needs it:

-After you create the assembly (in my case the left drivetrain) create a new PART.

-Go to manage->insert->derive and select your assembly. There are extra options that will change depending on your needs in this window.

-Go to the options tab

-select "mirror"

Now you have a second "assembly" to place in your final robot assembly. Since it is derived from the first (left drivetrain) changing the first assembly will update both. This is very useful, especially for those designing symetrical components.
