Mirror machine process

Mirror machine process.The mirror reference is an object. I assume that the middle black object is the reference. Originally, the left side can be mirrored to the right.
Is there a similar function?



Is there a suggested method? Or you can develop it. The steps I am currently using:
1. After adding all objects to the plane, rotate X, Y, Z = 180, 0, 180.
2. Reposition the Plane object to the previous level.
3. Gradually complete the rotation of all machines to the correct position.

Are you looking for a script that you can run to do this automatically? Or are you asking for a feature request?

I'll add this suggestion to the dev list.

For future feature requests you should send the request to [email protected] or create an idea on this site.

A feature to rotate a group of selected objects about a point, or flip them horizontally or vertically, used to be part of the Edit Selected Objects tool set:

This was part of FlexSim until version 7.5, but was removed in the 7.7 release. Maybe there were some issues or edge cases that didn't work? Or perhaps these were just rarely used features, removed to simplify the interface?

Whatever the reason, this feature has some foundation laid for it already, so bringing it back needn't start from scratch. Also, if anyone wanted they could dive into the code executed on those version 7.5 buttons to create their own, more modern version that could be run in a more recent version of FlexSim.

@Ben Wilson, @steven.chen

Those features are still there in the Rotate and Flip buttons.

@Matthew Gillespie, Nice! Totally missed it. Hopefully that will suit @steven.chen's need.
