Hello everybody,

When I reflect my drawings to another side it is not correct.
it reflects always to the wrong side. How can I choose the side I want to reflect it to?
Please help me. Thank you.

 

You can see on my attached file what I mean. 

Regards,

Patrick

I think you are asking about first angle projection. Open the drawing detail options by typing "detail options" into the search (its not in the default ribbon):

Search for projection_type and change the value from the default of THIRD_ANGLE to FIRST_ANGLE

I don't understand your use of the term "reflection". Are you trying to mirror your part to make a right-hand/left-hand part?

Or are you referring to creating views that are projecting incorrectly?

Maybe you are wanting first angle projection and the software is defaulting to third angle projection?

I see your PDF, but don't understand the question.
