Flipping an Element
There are two different options you can use when you want to flip your element.
The Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical options let you flip a drawing layer along the Camera view’s horizontal and vertical axis.
Once your drawing layer is rotated, the original horizontal and vertical axes change. The Flip Scale X and Flip Scale Y will perform a flip on your drawing layer following its original axis.
• | The Flip Horizontal command flips the layer following the Camera view X-axis. |
• | The Flip Scale X command uses the original X-axis of the layer and flips the element following it. |
