Mirroring Dynamic Blocks

[rmcleod]

I know that In order for text to display properly in a dynamic block I should use attributes. I have a drawing that is made up off a bunch of dynamic blocks we use for design. Sometimes our customer would like the orientation of the drawing changed. In order to do this quickly, we must mirror the drawing. My question is....is there a way to create a drawing that is the mirror image, but the blocks are moved and not mirrored.
I am not sure if I will have to write a program to do this or if I am totally overlooking something so simple. Please help if you can.

I haven't seen your drawings but i have done
something similar. I have a drawing that has an assembly shown in the middle of
the sheet with a few section details along the bottom of the sheet. I created a
block of the drawing, gave the assembly a flip parameter to mirror it. I then
gave all of the sections a point parameter & a move action so that I
can move them independently & they don't flip. Basically reverse the order.
Using programing, We open that drawing, select that block, flip, & have
deteremined which point goes were so that it is done automatically.

So, yes it is possible.

Thanks for your reply, I will give it a try. I think in the mean time, I will mirror about an endpoint instead of a midpoint and the designers can move the components into place.
