    All,

    using the following to create a path from an enterPath()
    and am wanting to create a copy of this path mirrored
    to the adjacent left or right of the created path,
    when using the dbCopyFig as shown below does not do this

    pth1 = dbCreatePath(cv list("metal2" "drawing") lpts 12)
    pth2 = dbCopyFig( pth1,nil, list(0:0 "MY" 1.0))

    Is it because of the reference point (0:0) ?

    Hi,
    You might want to take a look at the reference point as suggested.
    Instead of:
    where caar(lpts) shows the x-coordinate of the starting of the path,
    and the 12 is the width offset.
    Of course, this is assuming your path starts with a vertical line
    (depending on -> lpts).
    Else, you might want to use cadar(lpts).

    Best regards,
    I-FAB
