To Mirror, Rotate, and Scale Cross Sections

Use the Mirror, Rotate, and Scale Cross Section operations to improve the display and readability of your cross sections. You can specify that cross sections are mirrored automatically as needed to preserve readability. For more information, see Set Electric Options.

Using Rotate Cross Section, adjust the position of the cross section from 0 to 90 degrees perpendicular to the segment. Note that you cannot rotate the cross section so that it moves beyond 90 degrees perpendicular to the segment and crosses to the opposite side of the segment as that would invalidate the positions of the ducts and conductors inside the cross section.

Note:

It is strongly recommended that you use the Mirror, Rotate, and Scale commands in the Segment More menu in the Electric Explorer or on the Cross Section panel in the Electric ribbon tab. The AutoCAD MIRROR, ROTATE, AND SCALE commands might yield inconsistent results when used on Electric cross sections.
