I've written a script that reads my drawing's blocks, using their insertion points to arrange them contiguous runs. It then prints the info out to a text file. Unfortunately, our block library is inconsistent in terms of the blocks' insertion point and initial rotation. I've adjusted for this with simple trig functions, but I'm not sure how to account for a block that has been mirrored. If it is mirrored in either X or Y, my adjustment function obviously needs to do something different than it does to handle rotation. It appears that the block's Xscale becomes -1 when the its mirrored in either the X or Y plane (not both), but I don't see a way of determining whether it was mirrored about X or Y, so I don't know which adjustment I need to make. Is there another way I can account for this? In case more detail is needed, what I've done so far is create a text file with each block name, its init rotation relative to what I define as 0, and the length and angle of a line between the blocks ins point and the ins point I want to use for the comparison. In my script I use that info to adjust the Y point using sine and the X point using cosine. It looks like I need to adjust one or the other when I have a mirrored block, I just can't see how to tell which one. Any ideas? Thanks much, Craig
