flipping of instance

Rojalin
 Hi,

I want to Flip my instance .I have developed the code as below .It is flipping the instance but the coordinates of instance getting changed.Can anybody say what is the problem in the code.
 procedure(fliphorizontal()

foreach(obj geGetSelectedSet()

  Cur_orient=obj~>orient

  Cur_center=obj~>xy

case(Cur_orient

   ("R0"   Cur_orient="R180")

  ("R180"   Cur_orient="R0")  )

obj~>orient=Cur_orient

obj~>xy=Cur_center))

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "alt<key>h" "fliphorizontal()")

  •  Hi,

    if what you are trying to do is an inplace flip horizontally, then your script will only work if and only if the obj->xy (instance origin) is exactly at the center (center of object's bounding box) otherwise you have to work on a little bit by modifying the x coordinate of the instance.

    say for example, originally the object origin is at lowerleft, then when you flip it goes to lowerRight, then you need to plus or minus some distance in x direction to get the effect that it didn't move at all, only flipped horizontally.

    I think there is already existing code in this forum that works perfectly.
