You can just use the mirror tool in Part WB as workaround.
Please be a bit more precise what your problem is: do you want to mirror a single or multiple features and only keep the mirrored copies or are you trying to mirror the entire body and keep only the mirrored body?

[free777cat]

Task: mirror the whole body and save only the mirror body.

[maxwxyz]

that's possible either with the PartWB mirror or scale (-1).

[free777cat]

"Part WB" does not provide all necessary features.

[maxwxyz]

Then please describe the problem precisely in the original issue.

[free777cat]

The possibility of this option in "PartDesign" seems logical.
Also "PartDesign" goes better with "SheetMetal". Which is very important.

[maxwxyz]

Yes, but this would be another body (a mirrored clone) and not a feature inside a body, right?

[free777cat]

In the future, I conduct an assembly from files created in this way: "example".
The mirrored part must be in the same "body".
It will be able to change with the introduction of changes to the previous "history".

All "bindings" to the LCS are preserved.

[free777cat]

Such an option would make "PartDesign" more versatile. Are changes being considered?

[free777cat]

Yes, but this would be another body (a mirrored clone) and not a feature inside a body, right?

This is not a new "body". If we need to quickly change the shape to mirror?
It will also significantly speed up the design process. I cannot understand the reason for refusing to add it.
