Hello,

I have a dwg file with a contour made from coordinates, but the x and y values are flipped so everything is mirrored. Is there any way of changing all of the elements in the drawing to correct this?

thanks!

Hello Encomium, maybe you could do a mirror in clicking 2 points of a line 1st point 0,0 and 2nd point 100,100.
Is only the contour NOT OK or all the drawing ?
I've had this kind of problem with some X,Y coordinates given by an asian civil engineer and it's after 2 tests that I realised that he was using a "rule of the left hand" instead of the traditionnal "rule of the right hand".

You can use the MIRROR command to put all objects "back to normal".

Specifically, if you want the X coordinate of every position to become the Y coordinate, and vice versa, Mirror everything with 0,0,0 as the base and anything along a 45-degree line from there as the other mirror axis point [e.g. 1,1,0].
