Many components allow you to change their shape or orientation using component handles. Component handles allow you to rotate or mirror a component around axes, and you can use component handles to scale or resize parametric items in a drawing. Items can have several different types of component handles.

  • PPM All Outputs Graphic The mirror handle allows you to mirror about the horizontal and vertical axes, defined in relation to the origin of the item. You can mirror items by dragging the mirror handle in the appropriate direction. The software shows you the result of the operation dynamically so that you can be sure to mirror the item correctly.

  • PPM All Outputs Graphic The rotate handle provides a mechanism for rotating components around their origin. You can rotate items by dragging the rotate handle in the appropriate direction. The software shows you the result of the operation dynamically so that you can be sure to rotate the item correctly.

  • PPM All Outputs Graphic Parametric handles allow you to modify different parts of parametric items. Standard parametric handles represent up to four driving dimensions that have been applied to an item. Parametric handles can be located in four standard positions: top center, bottom center, left center, and right center of the range of an item. You can scale the item parametrically by dragging any parametric handle. The software shows you the result of the operation dynamically so that you can be sure to scale the item correctly.

  • PPM All Outputs Graphic Scale handles allow you to change the scale of a drawing item. A scalable symbol displays four solid square scale handles. A handle is displayed at each corner of the range of the symbol. You can drag any one of the handles, and the symbol scales either larger or smaller depending on the direction that you drag the handle.

Not all drawing items in can be mirrored, rotated, or scaled. Catalog Manager defines these properties for items when the symbols for the items are created. Note also that select sets cannot be mirrored or rotated with component handles. The Mirror and Rotate commands on the toolbar can be used for select sets.
