Something else to play with. Often you need mirror images of a
component, some times mirror images of the mirror images. Copy the
component, scale it with a factor of "-1" and you get a mirror image
without having to copy and rotate. Now if you edit the original all
mirrored copies update as a mirror image also.

Foe example drawer sides. Draw one and copy then scale the opposite
side. If you add a groove for a bottom
or rabbet on the end the scale copy gets the changes where you want
them also.


Oye! I've got to make the time to go back and copy all of the posts like
this into some kind of a library. I know I won't remember this crap when
the time comes that I need it. It all makes so much sense now, but...
