This section will illustrate the various layout tools and mechanisms that are available.
Mirroring
Mirroring is a very useful tool for laying out symmetric patterns. The software allows any gure to be easily
mirrored across the board’s center lines (X-axis and Y-axis) by means of the Mirror option in the Layout
menu or from the context menu that appears when right-clicking (Ctrl + clicking) on a gure. A gure may be
mirrored horizontally , vertically , diagonally or across all axes. Any changes made to a mirrored gure will
reect in its mirrored copy.

the Mirror option list. Deleting the original image will remove all mirrored instances of the item.
