Reflection in 3D Mode with Arbortext IsoDraw CADprocess
The
Reflection tool can be used to reflect all assemblies along a selected axis.
Click one of the axes of the coordinate system with the arrow cursor. The axis will be selected. If a free axis has been created and is visible, this axis will automatically be used as the reference axis. The free axis must not be clicked.
| If you have created a free axis based on a path or directly on an element, the additionally indicated line with an arrow is used as the reflection axis. |
Click on the Reflection tool, then click with the cursor on the required axis. All assemblies are reflected along the free axis.
You can also reflect a selection of assemblies in the same way. You can select the required assemblies using the object window or the
Arrow tool. Once you have activated the
Reflection tool, you can switch to the arrow
cursor temporarily by pressing the CTRL key.
If you now want to reflect the assemblies along another axis, click the axis in question or define an axis using one of the 3D axis selectors and repeat the reflection procedure described above.
| 3D transformations, such as Reflection, only apply to visible 3D objects by default. If you want 3D transformations to apply to both visible 3D objects and invisible parts inside of 3D objects, you must enable the CADprocess_TransformInvisible3DSubObjects preference setting. See 3D Editing Preferences for instructions.) |
