Component mirroring question

blondguy
blondguy over 7 years ago

I am working with the trial CS to determine if I would like to continue using it and have hit a snag.  I cannot seem to mirror or flip a component in the schematic.

 

If I place a component from any library, say a mosfet (which quite often needs to be mirrored to make a clean schematic), select the component, pressing 'X' or 'Y' has no effect.  I know the component is selected because pressing the spacebar rotates the part.

 

According to online tutorials, I should be able to press X or Y, and according to the help box in the upper right corner, there should be menu options under 'move' to do this.  The key presses don't work and the menu items are not there.  Is there really no way to flip a schematic component?

    Yes, the x and y keys will mirror the component. You need to select the component and "hold" the left mouse button, then the x and y keys work. If you select and let go of the left mouse button, the x and y keys will not work but the space bar still rotates the component.
