Mirrored text in SE draft?
Mirrored text in SE draft?
(OP)
Hi all,
Anybody know how to produce mirrored text in SE draft? I can't find any options to mirror it, using the mirror command mirrors the text box but not it's contents, and making it a symbol and mirroring that produces some very strange results.
There must be some way of producing backwards text in draft surely?
Best Regards
Duncan

RE: Mirrored text in SE draft?
I was able to mirror it in draft, but it's a bit like herding cats!
The only way I can see to do it reliably is to make a Text Profile
in a sketch from a Part file, copy and paste it into your draft file.
From there you can mirror it, but of course it is no longer text, just geometry.

The only other way I can think of is to mirror a font in Fontographer, and make a new mirrored ttf.
Rather annoying that this doesn't work anyway though, after paying so much for SE in the first place!
