DraftSight: Mirror, Mirror - DraftSight Blog

Visit DraftSight.com to explore DraftSight 2019 and learn how you can experience the freedom to do more with a better 2D drafting and 3D design experience.

DraftSight’s countless drawing options and alternatives ensure that anyone can find the command they need to actualize their visions in a quick and efficient manner.

As previously mentioned in the blogs, the Modify section of the Home tab in the ribbon is packed with editing functions that construct and transform the entities of your drafts in a matter of clicks. When selected, each icon with a down-facing arrow will reveal a drop-down menu that lists multiple similar features.

More specifically, this post will be focusing on the Mirror command, which is positioned under the Copy icon in the Modify section of the ribbon. Comparable to the copy feature, Mirror does exactly what you would expect it to – it mirrors any entity of your choice.

It’s operated by simply selecting the icon in the ribbon, highlighting the entities you want to mirror, and then drawing your preferred line of reflection, by selecting a start and endpoint.

Lastly, you’ll have the option to either delete or keep your original (or source) entity that was mirrored. Once specified, your newly reflected entity will appear in the drawing window!

I hope this post encourages you to experiment with the DraftSight’s Mirror feature!
