Summary

You can create objects that represent half of a drawing, select them, and mirror them across a specified line to create the other half.

Note: By default, when you mirror a text object, the direction of the text is not changed. Set the MIRRTEXT system variable to 1 if you do want the text to be reversed.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select objects: Use an object selection method and press Enter to finish

Specify first point of mirror line: Specify a point

Specify second point of mirror line: Specify a point

The two specified points become the endpoints of a line about which the selected objects are mirrored. For mirroring in 3D, this line defines a mirroring plane perpendicular to the XY plane of the user coordinate system (UCS) containing the mirror line.
