Mirror components and tra ces in place

Hi!

 

I need to "shift" the board side on a larger group of components and traces

on a design. If I group them and mirror, they will mirror on their group

axis rather than their own. The coordinates of components and wires need to

remain.

I have tried the mirror-board.ulp and

mirror-board-remirror-element-swap-layer.ulp, they do both mirror on group

axis. I guess a script that iterates through

all components and traces and mirror them would do the job (if I auto

replace layer="1" with layer="16" in the board files, it looks correct but

makes some inconsistency (because the components does not get mirrored).

 

Does anyone know a scrip for the job?

Hi Ole,

I hope you're doing well. A ulp like xfind would be able to accomplish

what you are trying to do. It has a lot of options so you have to read

up on it a bit, but you can download it from our website.

https://cadsoft.io/resources/ulps/?query=xfind

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Jorge Garcia

I made a little ULP (attached). I must sense the task in most cases, is a

bit more complicated for a 100% bullit-prove solution, at least for some of

the asymmetrical components, but at least it got me some of the way.

Explanation:

It loop through all element and mirror each one (at least at the end, when

the concatenated string is executed). After that moves layer 1->15, 16->1

and 15->16.

Use and/or edit at your own risk!

Best Regards

Ole.
