Mirror Plane tab

Use the Mirror Plane tab to define the workplane of the project you want to mirror.

When you mirror a workplane, the Y axis is flipped to ensure the creation of a mathematically correct axis.

Mirroring in YZ converts this:

to this:

The Mirror Plane tab contains the following:

Align panel

  • XY Plane — Aligns the mirror plane to XY in preparation for mirroring in Z.
  • YZ Plane — Aligns the mirror plane to YZ in preparation for mirroring in X.
  • ZX Plane — Aligns the mirror plane to ZX in preparation for mirroring in Y.
  • Plane from Line —Create the line by pressing the left mouse button to specify a start point and release it to give an end point.

Origin panel

  • Active Workplane — When selected, uses the active workplane as the origin. If no workplane is active then uses the global coordinate system as the origin.
  • Bounding Box — When selected, the origin is the centre of the bounding box containing all the entities.
  • Move — When selected, you can move the origin graphically by dragging or by entering coordinates using , , or and in the Status bar.

History panel

  • Undo — Select to revert to what it was before the last change.
  • Redo — Select to reinstate the edit you have just undone.
