Good day.
Is there a way to Mirror from the centerline either the x and or y? yes I know the mirror but as always I try to go faster.
so Let say I draw a cirlce at the left side of the X press a button (shortcut) it copies to the other side?
Tnx!

Hi Matadem,
re:

I've attached a plugin that can do that.
This command will perform a mirror as if you had drawn a mirror line in the Top view along either the X or Y axis lines.
It takes a parameter value of either "x" or "y", so set up your keyboard shortcut like this:
MirrorXY x
or
MirrorXY y

Nice works great and fast...one more thing in the same direction...
Is there a move copy script with input for distance?
So let say I draw a circle , square ect staring from the center and I want to copy mote it in with a certain distance in x and y.
Thanks!

The regular move/copy commands already support this, you can enter in
different numeric values as described here.
If you have a circle and want to copy it at a distance of 5 in x and 8 in y from its current location, run the Copy command, for the base point type 0 and Enter to specify 0,0,0 and for the target point type 5,8 and push Enter.
If you want to move by a certain distance in one direction you can do that by just dragging on an object without needing to run any other command at all.
When you're in selection mode (where you can select objects and not running in a command yet), type your distance value and push Enter (that will set a distance constraint for the next point pick), then either drag or to copy do ctrl+drag on your object to do the move/copy with distance constraint active.

Been using Moi for a few years but there is always something to learn.

Here's an example - here I'm doing:
type 12 <enter> drag
type 13 <enter> drag
type 14 <enter> drag
