API for 2D sketch Mirror

[Anonymous]

Hi

I want the mirror of 2D sketch.But I have not found any API which performs the mirror of sketch.

Any help is most welcome.

From my experience, I just create a construction line in the midpoint if the object or sketch, highlight what I want to mirror and follow the dialog box prompts.

Hope this helps.

Sorry about that.

I am new to INVENTOR.  Maybe you could educate me.

What is INVENTOR customization?  What is an "API"?

Thanks.

Hi

The commercial CAD software are developed for general purpose not for single user.so software includes comman functionality.

There may be situation some customer wants particular functionality.To add this extra functionality in the existing software is called customisation. For adding the extra functionality software provides interfaces is called API.API means Application Programming Interface. API nothing but the function defined by CAD software to add extra functionality in the software through

programming.

Hopes this will help you.

Is this customized programming like Visual Basic? Is this accessed in the TOOLS/OPTIONS section on the MENU?
