Lesson: Creating a Mirror Image of Existing Objects 209
Procedure: Mirroring Objects Using Grips
The following steps give an overview of using grips to mirror objects.
1.
Select an object to activate its grips.
2.
Click a grip to activate grip edit mode. By default, this point will be used as the first point of the mirror
line.
3.
Right-click anywhere in the drawing. Click Mirror.
4.
Move your cursor to define the mirror line. Click to select the point.
Guidelines for Mirroring Objects
You can use the Mirror command on all geometry.
By default, all new drawings have the MIRRTEXT system variable set to 0, so that text is not
reversed in a mirror action.
When MIRRTEXT is set to 0, the text does not mirror; however, the text alignment is mirrored, for
example from left alignment to right.
Drawings that were created in older versions may have the MIRRTEXT system variable set to 1.
When you mirror a text object in one of these files, the text is reversed. To avoid reversal of the
text, set the MIRRTEXT value to 0.
