Options

The following options are available to mirror your elements.

Option Description

:SELECT specifies the elements to be mirrored.

:CENTER defines the position in the active workplane, to be used as a center-point.

:MIRROR_EDGE specifies a straight edge to be mirrored about.

:DIRECTION specifies both the reference position, and the direction to be mirrored in by two points.

:HORIZONTAL mirrors the elements in the horizontal direction only

:VERTICAL mirrors the elements in the vertical direction only.

:KEEP

chooses whether or not to keep the original element(s).

Keyword	Action
:ON	keeps the original element(s) (default)
:OFF	does not keep the original element(s)

:APPLY Will perform the move while keeping the selection for further transformations. This is only possible if you do not create new elements during the operation, i.e. :KEEP :OFF :REPEAT_FACTOR 1

When to use

Use this action to mirror any 2D element in the active workplane.

Although the order in which you enter your options is not important, this action cannot be performed without the definition of the element(s) to be mirrored, and the axis to be mirrored about.

Example

The following parameter sequence chooses whether or not to keep the original element, and the horizontal axis to be mirrored about.

MIRROR_2D [specify element(s)] :HORIZONTAL [specify axis] :REPEAT_FACTOR 1 :KEEP :ON
