Mirror POSITION of object to existing object on opposing side

Anonymous — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 06:48:47 GMT

Hello

Lets say there are 2 different objects in the scene, i want to translate one object and mirror its position to the other object, like:

object 1: x 3 y 5 z 10 => object 2: x -3 y 5 z 10

In fact, like the reflection option when it comes to move vertex points, but for objects like mesh, groups, curves etc. I dont use the normal mirror option to create a new mirrored object, since the objects already exist. Just mirror position.

A simple one click solution would be nice, without grouping stuff or whatever.

I guess, if there is no such tool, you could script a function that simply copies translation and inverts one value (like in this case, x)

thanks & greetings

UPDATE:

Well, that happens when you're new to Maya and have no idea 'bout scripting...

Simply managed to set up a script that copies translation and inverts x value and pastes it to another object = one click solution
