Draft Mirror/es

Description
This tool produces a mirrored copy of a selected object, using a Part Mirror object. The copy is parametrically bound to the original object: If the original object changes, the mirrored copy changes too, but keeps mirrored.



How to use

 * 1) Select objects you wish to mirror
 * 2) Press the  button
 * 3) Click the first point of the mirror line on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
 * 4) Click the other point of the mirror line on the 3D view, or type a coordinate

Properties

 * : The base point of the mirror plane
 * : The normal direction of the mirror plane

Options

 * After the creation of the mirror, its binding with the original object can be removed using the Part Create Simple Copy tool.
 * The mirror of a Draft object can also be turned into a Draft Wire, using Draft Downgrade then Draft Upgrade.

Scripting
The Clone tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:


 * Makes mirror(s) of the given object(s) across a plane defined by a line from p1 to p2, and parallel to the current view
 * The result is a Part Mirror object
 * If the original object changes, the final object changes too but keeps mirrored
