To program Left/Right Part (symmetry/mirror), in V4 and V5,  you have to  use the TRACUT Operation 

• The TRACUT Operation transform the toolpath via a matrix + options (reverse Macros ++)  when you generate the APT

In the 3DEXPERIENCE, there is a new possibility: ReUse Opposite Hand.

• The transformation is done on the part       and the toolpaths are recomputed  and displayed interactively  (so to respect naturally  Climb/Conventional, macros….) 

The target of this wikit is to show you in a simple case how to use the ReUse Opposite Hand to understand …and why not to replace the TRACUT methodology.
