mirrored viewport

[ngraves]

Does anyone know if a viewport can be reversed (mirrored) while keeping the dimensions and text readable? I've tired changing the UCS to Bottom which is fine but everything is backwards. I need to create reversed architectural plans without duplicating my drawings or revisions.

thanks

mirror the view drawings, not the viewports.

I will do these:
Step 1:
Command: CHSPACE, change all notations and dimensions to paperspace
Step 2:
Change the view in the viewport to bottom view
Step 3:
Ensure mirrtext=0 and mirror the notations and dimensions in the paperspace
Step 4 (optonal):
Move those notations and dimensions back to modelspace with command CHSPACE.

i bellive there is an option from the window represtantion style, where you
can change to reflected.
Check in the right low corner next to the icons and you will see it says
medium detail
tell me if it helps

Regards

No, that's for a reflected ceiling plan display representation, which
turns off doors, windows, and furniture, and turns on ceiling elements
like fans, grids, and bulkheads.

I can't think of any way to do what you want without mirroring the
geometry, which basically means a whole new drawing set, because
sections, elevations, and details will also often need to be flipped as
well as the plans (or the callouts modified, at least, to indicate that
sections, for example, are taken in the opposite direction).

Or you can just tag every detail with "MIRROR." Not a pretty sight.

What kind of project is this?

I did what you describe for a fast-food restaurant prototype that needed
one version for the U.S. and one for England -- switching the driver's
side of the car switched the location of the drive-up window, which
switched the entire interior arrangement of the restaurant. Or should
have done -- the individual fixtures were not to be mirrored, so after
the whole building was mirrored, each of these was mirrored back about
its centerline, so that plumbing and gas connections, for example, would
be in the right place. This changed other relationships -- sight lines
within the kitchen, location of ventilation hoods -- that required
further tweaks and un-mirrorings.

Why go through all that trouble, simply turn mirrtext on. Then mirror it. Done!

It is not simple. What I would do is xref the orginals into new drawings and mirror the Xrefs. Text and dims need to be recreated.
