Don't mirror text in 2d

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 22:02:14 GMT

After placing purlins on my roof story, each to its correct hight on the gable, I mirrored them to the other side of the house. I have 2D script that automatically places an ID and the Length of the purlin on the plan. When I mirror, it flips the text upside down. I was wondering how to keep it from doing this. I'm still pretty new to this and haven't figured it all out yet. Thanks in advance.

Something like
if V~=-1 then rot2 180
should work, Depends a bit on the origin of your text.
doing from memory hope is correct.

BTW I assume this is a GDL question and may have better respnse from the the GDL forum

Thanks for your quick reply John!! I copied and pasted your script line into my 2d script to no avail. I also took your advice and put this post in the GDL forum. I'm new to this site so I have to figure out how to use it effectively. Thanks again!!

V~ is a boolean so can be either 0 or 1. Try the amended above.
