Function Description:

Users could select a graph as half of an object and use the MIRROR command to create another half of it.

Note: by default, the mirrored text will not change its direction. Users could specify the MIRRTEXT system variable to 1 to change its direction. In 2D space, the specified two points form a straight line and the selected objects will be mirrored by this line. In 3D model space, the specified two points also form a straight line; the mirror plane is defined by a plane that goes through this straight line and is perpendicular to XY plane of current UCS.

Relative Glossary:

Delete source objects? [Yes/No] :
Yes: Place the mirrored objects in the drawing and delete the source objects.

No : Place the mirrored objects in the drawing and reserve the source objects.
