bonus Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Is there a way to lock a symbol so it cannot be flipped over by accident, e.g. a door with left swing. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi Bonus, doesn't the "Lock" command do that?? Also, do you mean a symbol, or a PIO?? Quote Link to comment
bonus Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I mean a symbol. The lock command does not. It may lock the symbol once it's inserted as an object, but the idea is to be able to move around the symbol, duplicate it etc, but make sure it never gets flipped/mirrored. I know doors should be made with the PIO, but I'm working on old ACAD files with just line walls and billions of different symbols for all doors. I'm tidying up these files and my goal is to end up with just 5 to 6 different door symbols. If I would want to list all left swing doors, I must make sure there is no flipped symbol in the drawing -i.e. a left swing shown as right swing door. It's more of a hypothetical question because I have started flipping the same symbol anyway - just to get started. But I had the same thoughts some time ago concerning a piece of furniture I used for 900 workstations. It wasn't symetrical and should not be mirrored. Still I did, and now it's a mess....
