This procedure describes how to mirror the activities
within a process. Users may mirror all of the activities within a
process or only selected activities. In addition, users may choose
filter some kinds of activities (e.g., Probe activities) from mirroring.
The mirrored activities can be added at the end of the existing process
or mirrored into a group, in which case they appear after the first of the
selected mirrored activities. |
 |
-
Using the CTRL key, select the activities you want to
mirror.
-
Using the right mouse
button, select the Selected objects>Mirror from the
context menu.
 |
| The Mirror dialog box below allows you define the axis of
mirroring, the activities to be mirrored, and the output of the
mirroring. |
 |
| Origin and Mirroring Plane Normal
coordinates determine the location of the activities that will be
created as a result of the mirroring, and where those activities will
be relative to the selected ones. If an entire process is
mirrored, then the process occurs in a space relative to original
one, as defined by the Mirror Position coordinates. |
| When you select the activities (or a process) to be mirrored, and
the dialog box appears, the compass moves to the data. You can
alter the Mirror Position coordinates by moving the
compass on the geometry. In addition, you can use the RMB to
select the compass, and then select Edit from the context
menu. This enables you to edit the compass parameters. |
| If you select Whole Process in the Mirror
portion of the dialog box, then you can choose to mirror to a new
process. The new process will open a new window. |
| If, in the Mirror To section, you select Group,
the mirrored activities appear at the end of the existing process.
If you select Retain Original Activities, they remain (the
default); otherwise, they are deleted. |
-
Select the OK button when the correct
parameters have been entered on the dialog box.
| The mirrored group or activities appears in the PPR tree; a
mirrored process appears in its own, new window. |
