Adding a Mirror Element

Use the CBElement command with the Mirror option to add a mirror element to the CustomBlock definition.

In the Block Editor, the mirror element specifies an axis and a grip point. You can mirror the Block reference about this axis using the grip point.

To add a mirror element:

  1. Type CBElement at the command prompt.
  2. Specify the Mirror option.
  3. Optionally, specify the properties:
    • Name
    • Label
    • Description
    • Palette

    You can always modify the element properties in the Properties palette.

  4. In the graphics area, specify two points to define the mirroring axis.
  5. Specify the label location in the CustomBlock definition.
  6. Specify the number of grip points to appear in the Block reference:
    • 0. No grip points.
    • 1. One grip point at the midpoint of the element.
