- Notice that the new part is indeed a mirrored copy of the original. You can see that
the “MADE IN USA” text on the bottom is backwards. Fortunately, a configuration exists
specifically for this purpose. Change the configuration by selecting For Mirroring in the
Configuration Name drop-down list in the External References dialog box (from the RMB
selection List External References), as shown in Figure 16.22. Notice that this configura-
tion removes the extruded text from the model.
- Add your own “MADE IN.. .” extruded text to the bottom of the part. Save the part.
