Mirroring an Object

Mirroring an Object

  • The Mirror function will create a Mirror copy of the selected object along the selected axis.

  • Select the object to be mirrored.

  • Click the Mirror button.  

  • Click on the start of the plane of reference:

    • Left-Click sets the point under the cursor

    • Right-Click snaps to the nearest point

  • Draw the line to use for the axis reference by dragging the mouse. A dotted line is displayed for reference. Holding down the CTRL key will move the cursor in Ortho mode.

  • For Additional Information:

  • See Flip button to Flip the selected objects Horizontally or Vertically.

  • See Edit > Flip Design > Horizontal/Vertical to flip the entire design Horizontally or Vertically.

The Mirror function will create a Mirror copy of the selected object along the selected axis in Trace and Designer and mirror the image horizontally in Visualize.

Ortho Mode (Orthogonal) constrains the cursor movement to only the Horizontal or Vertical directions; i.e., right angles.

In Trace, this is done by holding down the CTRL key while drawing.
