In this video I will tell you about mirror and scale command of Hardhack and so here in this case we
have the simple geometry and the text here.
And you can create the mirror image of both of these geometries in Autocad.
So I'll start with this simple geometry here.
So in order to create a mirror image of geometry select the mirror tool from the mortified panel and
now look at the command line which prompts you to select the objects to select the object and press
enter.
Now the command line prompt you to specify the first point of Matre line.
So click anywhere in the drawing area that will be the first point and now click at the second point
of mirror line and I can see that a mirrored copy of original object will be made.
And now click here and now look at the command line sort.
Now it prompts you to specify whether you want to.
It is the source object or not.
So we don't want to it is this source object so I'll select the default value and simply press enter.
So here we have the mirror image.
Now let's say that we want to make a mirror image of both of these objects on the up side.
So far that I'll once again select the mirror tool.
Now select both of these objects PRESENTER And now specify this as the first mirroring point.
And this one as the second mirroring point and simply press enter.
Here we have it the geometry requirement.
Now in case you want to make a complete mirror image of all of these four geometries on their way here
for that you can again select the mirror to select the complete set of objects.
Press enter.
Now again you can specify the mirroring line so as select this as the first mithering line and this
point as the second mirroring line and now let's it is a source object in this case.
So I'll click on yes and the source object is deleted and a copy of that object is made here.
So now let's press control-C a couple of time to return back to the original geometry.
Now we'll try the mirror tool on this text also.
So select the mirror to select the text press enter.
Now click it a point and then click at second point and press enter.
But in this case you'll notice that the mirror copy has not been made.
It is simply a copy of this original object and these two objects are not literally inverted as it was
in case of this object.
So in order to make a mirror image of text you need to ensure that the mere text system variable is
set to one.
So I make a copy of this object here and now I'll apply the mirror to once again on this text.
So before that I'll change the system variables so let's type more text and change its value to one
and press enter.
Now select the mirror to select the text press Enter specify the first point and the second point and
press enter.
Now we have it as a mirror image and you can compare it with the original copy or the original mirror
image which we have made without using the M.Tech system variable.
So in this case the metric system variable was set to zero.
In this case it was set to 1.
So I'll once again type text and I'll change it to you to default 0.
Now let's look at the scale 2.
So here we have a simple geometry.
And now let's assume that we want to increase the size of this geometry.
So in order to increase the size you can use this scale to simply select the scale tool here on the
modified panel select the object press enter and look at the command line.
It now prompts you to specify the base point.
So B's point will be the point which will remain fixed when the object will be elongated or contracted.
So when the size of this object will change the base point will remain fixed.
So isolate this lower left corner as a base point and now you'll notice that the size of object changes
along with the cursor.
So you can either select the cursor or you can dynamically apply the size using the cursor or you can
also enter a scale factor.
So in order to increase the size simply add a value which is greater than 1.
So if you add a value 1.5 then the size will increase to 1.5 times of the original value.
So if you type a scale factor of 2 it will make a geometry we just twice the size of our original object
if you type 3 it will make the geometry of tri's the size and so on.
Similarly if you type 0.5 has this scale factor it will decrease the size to half of its original value
and so on.
So I'll type one point two in this case and press enter.
And here we have it the larger geometry has been made.
So now it's Press Control Z to get back to the order in the geometry.
Now in case you want to make a copy of this object after scaling then you need to select that corresponding
option.
So I'll select this kill again select the object press Enter specify the base point.
And now here we have an option of copy.
So let's look at this copy option and now let's reduce that size to half of its origin value.
So Antibes 0.5.
Presenter.
And now you'll notice that we have a copied image.
Let's select and move it outside.
So the size of this object is half of the size of this object in all of these dimensions.
So let's now press control Z to return back to the origin of geometry.
Now in this case the size of this object is somewhat close to 950 units and let's make a line which
is equal to 1000 units.
So I'll make a line of length 1000 units.
And here we have it.
So now you can see that there is a slight gap between this end point and this line.
So let's assume that we want to escape this join in such a way that the base line becomes 1000 units
and all the remaining length stretches in the similar proportion.
For that we can use a scale reference option.
So once again go to this GUIL tool and now select the object and press enter.
I specify the base point which we have specified in the previous case also.
And from the command line select this reference option.
Now we need to specify the reference land which is the length of this line from this point to this point
so in picnic at this point and now and click at this point.
So that's the reference length.
Now you need to specify the new length and the new length is 1000 units.
So simply stretch it and click at the end of this 1000 unit length line.
So click here and here we have it.
So now the base length is equal to 1000 units and the remaining lands are proportionally changed.
So you can now it is that original line.
It's no longer required.
So in this way you can use mirror and scale come on in Autocad.
