MIRROR Hatch and Text in BLOCK DEFINITION

Hello,

 

I would like to ask you how to do correct mirroring in block definition. (especially hatches and texts)

 

If I mirror my drawing using hatches and texts and it is not in block definition, everything is fine.

However If I mirror my block definition using hatches and texts, these texts and hatches are mirrored incorrectly.

 

I attached video below to better represent my problem.

I know about this:
The variable MIRRHATCH does not apply to hatches contained within a block definition. To obtain the desired result, you can create a dynamic block, adding a Flip Parameter Set which includes the hatch objects. Once the block is mirrored, use the flip parameter to orient the hatches as you need.

 

But I am not able to do it to show my hacthes and texts correctly.

 

Could anyone help me please ? I would like to learn how to flip blocks like this in common, not just this one because if there will be a lot of hatches in the block definition and I create only 1 flip action, it seems to flip incorrectly, not in the way I need. Also I dont want to have a lot of flip actions in block definition for every hatch I have in it.

 

Thank you

In my opinion your use of the word "correctly" is ironically incorrect.  

 

Use an attribute for text if you want it to always read the same direction when flipped or unflipped.

 

Use a chained point/move for the hatch (place the point at the centerline of the hatch) and flip the point (and do not flip the hatch) if you want the hatch to face the same direction when flipped.
