MIRROR Command

Creates a mirror image copy of objects

Modify toolbar:
Modify menu: Mirror
Command line: mirror

Select objects: Use an object selection method
First point of mirror line: Specify a point (1)
Second point: Specify a point (2)


The two specified points become the endpoints of a line about which the selected objects are reflected. In 3D, this line orients a mirroring plane perpendicular to the XY plane of the UCS containing the mirror line.

Delete old objects? <N>: Enter y or n or press ENTER

Entering n or pressing ENTER places the reflected image in the drawing and retains the original objects. Entering y places the reflected image in the drawing and deletes the original objects.

To manage the reflection properties of text objects, use the MIRRTEXT system variable. The default setting of MIRRTEXT is on (1), which causes a text object to be mirrored just like any other object. When MIRRTEXT is off (0), text is not mirrored.

System Variables: MIRRTEXT controls whether text is reflected with the MIRROR command.
