Flip an object
Select an object and click on the Flip icon . You will see a
dashed line through the middle of the object.
This dashed line is the axis of symmetry. The object will be
reflected about this line. Move one or both ends of the line
with your mouse to set the orientation of the axis.
Then, grab any one of the eight green handles and move it
across to the other side of the dashed line. The new position of
the figure is shown faintly until the mouse is released.
Note
If you press the Shift key while moving the line, the line will rotate in 45-
degree increments.
Mirror copies
Officially, this useful command does not (yet) exist in Draw. It can, however, be easily
emulated.
Move the axis of symmetry to the desired location of the mirror axis. Copy the object
to the clipboard. Flip the object, then click on an empty area of the Draw screen in
order to deselect the object. Paste from the clipboard to put a copy of the object in its
original location and now you have a mirror copy.
