Draw Beams problem

[Joseph]

I was working on a plot that has many areas that are mirror images of each other.

I selected several instruments on Stage Left duplicated them. Grouped the duplicates. Moved them to thier new home. Flipped them horizontally then ungrouped them.

When I click Draw Beam the beam is flipped vertically the opposite way. That is to say if the beam was going 45deg up stage it will go 45deg down stage.

Any ideas how to fix this or better ways to mirror a plot?

ThanksPeaceJOseph

You might try not grouping the instruments. All you have to do is shift select them and drag them to the new position and then do your flipping.

I just did a test. I placed 2 S4-36 focused them to a focus point. I Drew beams - everything ok. I then duplicated them, moved them to the oposite side of my plot, rotated them, and then selected "draw beam" they worked fine.

I them went back and did the same thing but - grouped them, moved and rotated them, then ungrouped, and drew beams - they worked fine - so i don't understand why you are having problems.

1) what type of instruments - do you have the same problem with all types?

2) what version of SL?

3) what platform are you on?
