- MODIFIERS
-
- COPY The COPY modifier is used to create a new copy of the entities
- that were identified. The original entities are left intact
- while new entities which are the mirror image of the existing
- entities are created. ( See fig. 7.23 ).
-
- Without the COPY modifier, the original entities are mirrored
- about the axis defined by the locations 'x1' and 'x2'.
-
- .ACTIVELAYER When entities are copied using the MIRROR ENTITY command, the
- new entities will be created on the same layer as the original
- entities. If the ACTIVELAYER modifier is used, the new
- entities will be created on the current active layer.
-
- .ACTIVEDEPTH When entities are copied using the MIRROR ENTITY command, the
- new entities will be created on the same depth as the
- original entities. If the ACTIVEDEPTH modifier is used, the
- new entities will be created on the current active depth.
-
- NOTEXTMIRROR This modifier is used to inhibit mirroring of text. The
- location of any text entity is affected by the mirror, but
- the text itself will not be mirrored. ( See fig. 7.24 ).
