Mirror with drafting entities

[Bill Cronkhite]

This is probably a silly question, but it would save me a lot of time if I could do this. I creat a lot of geometry which I use for both left and right hand parts. After creating one side, I just mirror and have the other hand part. The problem is with drafting. Notes mirror fine, but dimensions mirror the characters also, and I can't find a way to get them reversed back. The positions are good, but the test is backwards. I can use either 9.1 or ver.X MR2 to do this if there is a way.

Thanks

Bill

What is a problem with drafting ?

I never have .

I use to look from Gview -bottom (Gview 34)

i don't think you will be able to do it with mirror. when it reverses the dimensions, the mirror function is only doing what it's supposed to do. however, if your parts are symmetrical, you probably can make some use of a simple transform between points. for example if a box has a dim. on the left of 2.000 and you want it on the right as well, transform it from the left corner to the center.
