    there is a mirror function on the right hand toolbar when you drop down the translate box. then you can mirror it the direction you want and just save it as the new part number. but you will need to reassign the toolpaths as far as i know.

    That is the part I am trying to figure out if possible, a way to have the mirrored toolpaths be saved as a part itself.

    If the toolpath is simple you can also try to use the Edit > Transform > Mirror Toolpath command. I would not recommend using this on complex parts. The only issue is that the original toolpath will have to remain there.

    For more details you can refer to the Edgecam Help or User Guide.
