  Hello.
  
  When mirroring an assembly, some sub-assemblies break, not only in the new mirror assembly but also in the original. I am attaching a 3D model and pictures where you can see the problem. What does error message mean in attachment? Everything was drawn in version Ansys SpaceClaim 2021 R1. What can cause this problem?
  
  Thank you.
  
  Best Regards

  Hello Miki
  
  Can you please try right-clicking on the assembly and "Internalise all" and try mirror again?

  Hello.
  
  I tried "Internalise all", but assembly was break again. Then I tried use setting: enable left hand mirror transforms (please see attached picture), and it helped. But I´m not sure, what does mean this setting. Could I use always?
  
  Thank you.
  
  Best Regards

  Hello Miki
  
  I checked with my team on this one. It seems to me that if that option works for you it should not cause any problem.
