Easy way to mirror ink stamping to opposite face

Post by chambersj »

Our company likes to use a lot of patch panel type designs, 1u and 2u panels. I layout all the holes and label them and would like to have the ink stamp visible on the back side as well for ease in installation.

Is there an easy way to mirror all the labels I did on the front to the back? I really don't want to type it all out, line it all up and space it all out again. I've tried grouping it all together then copy / paste but that doesn't work. Why can't I copy ink stamp text from inside to outside!?

I though I had a great idea of duplicating all the text, then deselecting the check mark for "On Outside" I figured it would basically push all the text to the other side and I'd be done... nope.

any ideas?

while I'm complaining, can you make it so I can move a selected item with the arrow keys so i can fine tune the location.

Thanks,

Jeremiah

The copying everything and then deselecting the checkbox should have worked - I'll look into that shortly for you.

Making the arrow keys shift slightly should not be difficult - I will add that in. In the meantime, I would recommend either zooming way in and using the mouse or using the alignment tools for precise placement of things without entering actual numerical values.
