Mirror within dynamic block

Hey folks! 

I have created some geometry in a block, applied my Parameters and Actions and it behaves like I need it too.  Now I need to create a copy of that geometry for the other end of my widget that I'm creating.  I need it mirrored about a centerline between the two, but I need it to be the same dimensions as the original version.  Is there a way (without recreating all the Parameter/ACtion combinations) to have this second copy of my geometry 'driven' by the Block Properties Table like the first?   TIA!!!

A flip parameter/action is typically what is used for what you describe.  If you have trouble with it, post back.

Hello Libbya.  I looked into that a bit but I want to show both at the same time.  Think left and right identical ends, mirrored about the center.  The only thing is that I've done all my Parameters/Actions to the 'left' end, and I'm looking for a way to have the 'right' end have all the same dimensions (hopefully without creating a second set of all the Parameters/Actions on the 'right' end also).  Is that something that one could achieve with Flip?

Ah, you want both displayed at the same time.  Yeah, a flip doesn't do that.  In that case you will need to copy the linework and repeat the parameters/actions.  Unfortunately, you cannot copy/paste parameters/actions.  You can copy paste entire sections of the block properties table, though so at least you don't have to fill all that out again.

Kind of what I suspected.  Thank you!
