    Mirror cells on the fly during placement

    AskInga logo

    Original Date: May 2003

    Updated: October 2010

    Flip your 3D cells on the fly!

    To flip, or mirror 3D cells during placement, simply toggle the Mirror option.

     

     If this option is not avialable on your version, try this tip from  from Phil Frank, CAD Manager at Northeastern Log Homes.  Locate and open Shortcut.txt and add the following keyins:

    accudraw rotate x;accudraw rotate x

    accudraw rotate y;accudraw rotate y
