FLIPLINE command
Creates a line, used to flip the entities of a block.
Icon:
Alias: PFLIP, PARAMETRICFLIP
Method
This command is used with 2D parametric blocks.
The FLIPLINE command allows you to draw a line used as a reference axis for flipping the selected entities of the block.
The FLIPLINE command will automatically create a special type of parameter and will associate it to the flip line entity. This parameter has two possible values: Not Flipped and Flipped.
The flip of the block will occur when the value of the flip parameter is changed. You can access this parameter in the Parameters Manager panel. Another way to change the flip parameter is to select the block and open the Properties panel, in the Parameters section.
When the flip parameter is set to Not Flipped, the block is in its default configuration, as it was drawn. When the flip parameter value is changed to Flipped, the block is flipped around the flip line.
- Creating a flip line is equivalent to drawing a line using the LINE command. For more info about using the FLIPLINE command, see the article 2D parametric blocks.
- Creating a flip line on an entity already affected by an existing flip line can lead to unexpected behavior.
Options within the command
- Select entities to flip
- Lets you select which entities should be flipped. The constraints affecting the selected entities will not be flipped.
- flip Everything
- Selects all entities in the drawing for flipping. The constraints group will be flipped as well.
