Problems creating a mirror image of a documentation frame around a PCB.

likeabletom

Hi all,

I have a problem with mirroring and Lines.

I have documentation frame (text + lines) around my board composed of Text and Lines.  I am trying to make a mirror image of the frame so I can document the bottom layer (which is already in mirror image ref des, text on PCB, etc).

I have successfully mirrored the text as a page (text that was on the RHS of the page is now on the LHS of the page), but I am completely failing when it comes to the Lines.  I can get each individual line to mirror separately, but cannot get the Lines to mirror as a group.

How can I either a) mirror the Lines as an entire page, or b) mirror both the Text and Lines as one page in one go.

The mirror option is available for CLines, but not Lines...

Using 16.6.

Robert.

    You could make a Format Symbol of your documentation frame and then place it as a symbol twice the second time right click - mirror. The key here though is to make sure the symbol is drawn on a new subclass layer Drawing Format - Outline_Top. Then when you place the mirrored version PCB Editor automatically creates a new subclass Outline_Bottom.
