I was hoping to hear your preference with regard to follow through after modeling "heavy features" with (Read Only to stop the regeneration of the knurling as well as) simplified reps for offering a less heavy representation of the model for use in next-level assemblies with a user-defined part-level simp rep. This was a useful presentation, Dave. Thanks again for our daily fix of Creo tutorials.
Hello Dave, Keep going with the tutorials, you doing a good work! You can use the mirror command to have the same result, instead of design two separate helical sweep and pattern them. Best regards
There's an issue whereby after you mirror a feature that contains a sketch, you can't edit definition of the sketch to add or remove references. I don't know the logic behind that, but it forces you to delete the mirror to make changes and then recreate the mirror. This can be a pain, and worse, it can make changes impossible if the original features have a lot of children.

That’s true. It’s funny though, we were having a discussion at work last week about avoiding the mirror command if you can...
Thanks for sharing that, but why to avoid the mirror command?
I'll have to dig up the discussion. I was at LiveWorx when this happened.
