Mirror is not working in Part Design

[exsolvespacer]

I am trying to make a bike mudguard and have modelled half the mudguard.

When I try to mirror it, it all goes wrong. It is missing a Pocket in the Mirror. Please see attachment and image:

Any ideas what I have done wrong? Thank you.

You could use Part mirror:

Thanks, that fixed it.

I had a look at Part Workbench but didn't realise it was possible to mirror an entire body.

The order of the features is very important when doing a part design pattern, if you want to have the same result the operations have to be in the same order. Here a fixed file.

I tried your file but it exhibited the same problem.

I had this working in Part Design originally, but I changed a dimension on one of the sweep sketches and thereafter the final pocket stopped working in the mirror.

how so? it's fully symmetric... are you sure you were looking at my file?

perhaps topo naming problem and you later used the incorrect order in the mirror.

Yes, it had to do a recomputation when I loaded it but shows the same problem. Please see my earlier post for my FreeCAD version which I think must be different to yours.

Yes, we are looking at your file and yes, @exsolvespacer is right - you have created your file in master branch and as he clearly indicated in his first post (and why it is in assembly subforum not in help subforum - doesn't always make sense to me, but that's another story) he is using Link branch.

Your file when opened in Link branch looks like so:

The issue seems to be caused by the last fillet:

Deleting the fillet results in perfectly OK mirrored model:

ok I got confused this looks like a bug on link branch then, FYI I think in link branch there is an option to mirror the entire shape as in Part mirror.

Should I report this somewhere?
