1.33. Creating Mirror Images

Problem

You want to flip an element along the horizontal or vertical axis to create a mirror image.

Solution

Use Modify → Transform → Flip Horizontal (or Vertical)

Discussion

Flipping an element inverts it through its center point along either the vertical or horizontal axis. Flipping an element creates a mirror image and therefore differs from rotation. To flip the selected element, choose Modify → Transform → Flip Horizontal (or Vertical). You can flip along both axes and unflip by flipping again.

You can create a bilaterally symmetrical design by duplicating a design, flipping it, and repositioning it.
