I have started working in a part model started by an outside individual in Creo.
In the model tree I see that he has done a mirror of a copy geometry feature. One of the things that I don't like about Creo is that a copy is generated, even if the original is hidden.
My question is; if the original geometry is still in the model (in it's hidden state) does this add any corruption to someone who would be NC programming or other potential issues?
Sometimes our models get exported as an IGES and sometimes it gets passed on in it's Creo format.
I really wish the mirror command didn't automatically assume "copy". I know I could also use remove face to remove the original geometry.
Just for the sake of ease of use however I am wondering whether it would be safe to just leave the original geometry in the model in it's hidden state. In our former software I know that we couldn't get away with this.
