Editing mirrored objects from original

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 03:55:45 GMT

Hello! Question about mirroring: Is there a way to edit a 2D drawing and have the changes automatically transfer to a mirrored copy? For example, I have a cross section of a lathe turning that I want to edit and want it to show up on a mirrored side automatically. Is there some way to link lines/arcs?

Thanks for looking!

Hi and welcome to Autodesk blog,

the answer is yes there is away to do that by converting your section to a BLOCK or XREF because the ability for automatically changes one of specification for those two command.

BUT in your case.. BLOCK command line is your need i think.

Alternate method would be to use two viewports to view the object(s) from opposite sides of the plane . ie Top and Bottom, Left and Right, Front and Back.
