AJPeach Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Where has the 'Reflect about Object' tool gone in X6 ? I used to use this tool quite a lot, for example to change a sink with a RHS drainer to LHS, or to reverse a corner bath to get the taps where I wanted them. Now I can't find it, or anything equivalent. Have I missed something. Has this useful tool been taken away ? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Emery Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 It's still available. You should see the edit menu open when you click on an object. I believe the default position is in the lower left corner of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 When you select something that can use that tool, it shows up in the edit toolbar at the bottom of the screen, or a right click on your mouse. I use it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJPeach Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Last night when I came across this problem using my laptop, I was trying to 'reflect' a sink unit. The edit menu/toolbar appears, no problem, but there isn't a 'reflect about object' button. I deleted the sink and got another copy from the library but it was no different. I must have spent about an hour trying to figure out what was going wrong. I opened X5 with the same plan and clicked on the sink unit and there was the 'reflect about object' button. Then back into X6 and it just isn't there. This morning I tried it on my desktop PC with a blank plan, using same sink unit (Sinks - Self-rimming - Double w/drainboard) and there is no 'reflect about object' button to select. I tried a different sink unit and same problem. Then I tried a 'garden' corner bath, and hey presto, the 'reflect about object' button is there. So my conclusion is, there's nothing wrong with my PC set-up and something has changed in X6 because I've always been able to reverse a sink unit in the past.

Solution glennw Posted March 6, 2014 Solution Share Posted March 6, 2014 Alan, I think the rule is that if you place into a countertop, you can't use Reflect About Object. If you place it as freestanding, you can Reflect About Object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJPeach Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Glen, Thank you. I had forgetten that. I just tried it and it works. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen_Brown Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The problem with that method seems to be that if you place it outside a cabinet, flip it, then try to place it back into a cabinet, it does not connect itself to the cabinet, but stays independent. You can of course just reflect the cabinet, and it will flip the sink with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
