Label in mirrored hotlink

[rav668]

Hello,
I would like to ask if there is a function in gdl to check if hotlink in which the object is located has been mirrored. To be more specific I am using wall labels in modules. Without this function, hotlinks are almost useless.
Best regards,
Rafał.

No, I don't think there is such a function or command in GDL. A Library Part can know whether it itself is mirrored, but there is no command that would give information about the Hotlinked Module file the Library Part is located in.
I looked through the GDL Reference Guide but I have not found anything that could accomplish this.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I have to label each module manually I suggest Graphisoft creating this function in GDL. It seems very easy to do taking into account the fact, that there is a parameter of hotlink which describes if it is mirrored or not.

SYMB_MIRRORED combines hotlink mirroring and element mirroring. As a result, it doesn't matter if an object is shown via a hotlink or placed directly into the plan.
Do you need only one component of the mirroring?

I have used this in my labels and they work perfectly with hotlinked modules in any position

Kristian,

Can you expand on that? The GDL reference guide under SYMB_MIRRORED says: The mirrored state of a hotlink is not included

Also, I tried using this in a wall label I'm looking at, and it returns 0 regardless of mirrored state.

This is the current result of the label:

Hi Bruce,

I might have overlooked that that you are labelling a wall. Walls don't have a SYMB_MIRRORED state, they use WALL_FLIPPED. This also gets flipped when the hotlink is mirrored.
Also labels don't know which side of the labelled element they are at - I have a feeling that is also missing information you would need. You could try something with LABEL_POSITION and assuming a fixed parallel or perpendicular label orientation. But maybe it is easier to solve with a parameter instead.

Thanks Peter. Yes, I've added a 'Used in Hotlink' parameter. Haven't got the logic working yet, but so far it's promising.

Anybody got a fix for this problem, with the same label or any other one? This is what I get with NCS Wall Label 24. Right is module placed with no mirroring; left is mirrored, with all wall labels flipped making the whole thing unusable.
