Our News server crashed over the weekend and lost all the replies to my original post, but I was able to read them on Google.



Thank you to all who replied, however I had already tried to use Modify Sketch. Modify Sketch moves, scales and rotates but I can't see a way to use it to mirror a derived sketch. The Help doesn't list mirroring as one of it's capabilities.



Thank you, Steven


Sometimes when I create a derived sketch it is created facing the wrong
>direction. Is there a way to flip the sketch about an axis or a technique

From 2003 Help topic on Modify Sketch:

The "origin symbol" referred to is the one which comes up when "Modify Sketch" is active, which is highly modal (it changes appearance and function depending where you move the cursor to)

This Help topic is NOT well written, unless you already knew what it is trying to tell you (and, I might add, not trying very hard)

Thank you, that was the extra information I required. I have now found the relevant line hidden in the Help. I overlooked it before because it's mentioned briefly at the end of the section about moving the sketch.
