SettingDescription
Mirror Direction Sets direction in which element(s) are mirrored:
  • Horizontal — about horizontal axis.
  • Vertical — about vertical axis.
  • Line — about line defined by two data points.
About Element Center If on, the selected element(s) is rotated about its center point instead of a selected point. Cells and text elements are rotated about their origins.

Elements may be selected individually, or you can select multiple elements to rotate in a selection set or using a fence. Where multiple elements are selected they all will be rotated about their own center points.

Make Copy If on, the element(s) are copied and the copy(s) are mirrored; the original(s) are not manipulated.
Use Fence If on, the fence contents are mirrored. The option menu sets the Fence (Selection) Mode.
Multi-line Offsets If on, multi-line profile offsets are mirrored.
Text If on, text is mirrored.

Tip: Choosing Mirror from the Reset pop-up menu selects the Mirror tool. When the tool is selected in this manner, the mirror operation affects all selected elements.
