Part Mirror Plane

[openBrain]

adding support for Datum planes (I think they don't work?)

That would actually require more changes as Datum Planes are PartDesign items that "can't" be used out of a Body.
But I guess a Part Plane can be used in the same way for mirroring feature.

DatumPlanes can indeed be used outside bodies. Currently they have to be detached and moved out of the body, but I remember that in the german forum there was a discussion about creating them directly. I couldn't find it yet, but I will search again tomorrow.

Here are the macros for generating Datum-geometry outside of PartDesign: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... ch#p304740.

My mistake I wrongly guess that using Datum items out of a Body will make FC to complain.
But I still don't see any advantage to using a Datum Plane instead of a Part Plane (but I may be wrong again).
