TruCUT RDWorks Mirror Feature in your Designs (Part 13) Design Type Workflows Mini-Series

The Mirroring feature that comes with the program is great when you are working on Symmetrical Designs.

There are many useful ways to use the two Mirror options. It will also shave you a lot of time by not having to recreate the same shape twice.

This video is part of a Mini-Series.

Hi there, guys. In today's video, we're gonna be looking at mirroring shapes within your design and this all before truth that already works. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za Today we make sure it's easy to watch problem solving videos. We also have daily updates otherwise back in the programme. Yeah. Now, this is a continuation on the design, many serious and also we're gonna be looking at mirroring shapes now, Like I mentioned in the previous video, this is very handy when you also have grouped objects which we're gonna be looking at today. And also we will leave relevant links and descriptions. You guys actually follow along? No, let me just a quick example. Yeah, and rectangle. And now let's just change the colours to red a side What I normally like to do also when I'm mirroring shapes and that I would like to make sure it's in the middle, especially if it has to be symmetrical. Because then I can, um uh I kind of look at the distance between the two if it is accurate crab, little shaking at the bottom. And also another thing to keep in mind when you are actually working with mirroring is that we get it for, uh, both horizontal and vertical planes. So that means you can do it both up basically and sideways or up and down and sideways, which can be also quite convenient. Now, let's say we've got this little shape, this box, man face, and then it's kind of pointless redesigning all of this to the right. So then what can simply do we make a copy of this either controls and control V or controlling left, click and drag? Then I'll move this more or less to the white spacing. I like it. So what I mean with that is the spacing between the two and you're on the left drop bar as we'll see under this big X, we've got the mirror horizontal and vertical. So now if I had to click the mirror horizontal quickly mirrors this. Okay, I just have to readjust my white space there and then that saves you a lot of time. Yeah. Now, obviously, you can see different cut, um, deaths and that for different areas of this design and Yeah, so that is mirroring. Like I said, you can do it, horizontal or both, Horizontal and vertical. And it saves you a lot of time when you have to do more symmetrical type designs. Then, um you know, otherwise we had year to softwaretraining.co.za. Guys are noticed. We've got a variety of different Softwares you do cover. And also you can't isolate your search on the top of right. If you do not, however, find the videos looking forward. Just go here, requests a training video, filling the uniform, and then we'll make that video for you. But otherwise thanks, guys for watching and cheers.
