Mirroring a project allows you to mirror (reflect the placement and shape of) all elements in a project around an axis you select (North - South, East - West, Northeast - Southwest, or Northwest - Southeast). When you mirror a project, model elements, all views, and annotations are mirrored. Orientation of annotations is preserved when necessary, for example text does not mirror in order to retain readability.
To mirror a project:
- Click Manage tab
Project Location panelPosition drop-down
(Mirror Project). - In the Mirror Project dialog, select an option.
- Click OK.
In some cases when you mirror a project, relationships between elements are not supported as in the original orientation of the project. This can lead to unexpected results and errors, for example some elements may deviate from exact reflection. After you mirror the project, a message displays to indicate any errors encountered. You can export errors to review and correct them.
For information on exporting errors, see Exporting Warnings to a File. For information on finding elements in the project that are associated with errors, see Diagnostic Tools. For information on the tools you can use to correct errors, see GUID-33CE9B38-CACD-47D6-936B-01776C4BC324.htm#WSAD9B9E21C4998E1D125B27CFC55C0E72F-77C0.
