SU Dovetail mirroring problem

[mahking51]

Hi, One for Dave R I think!
I have made a simple DT box in SU using the component method but the DT's are NOT symetrical therefore when I copy a side and rotate it does not fit the other end.
Is there a way round this short of redrawing each end/side?
Regards,
Martin

Could you post at least a screen shot of what you've drawn?

And are you rotating or mirroring?

Don't rotate it - mirror it!

Make a copy of the end detail..... use the scale tool... grip on the middle axis you want and drag it through itself.... type in -1. Then move it where you want it

All as just recently learnt from DaveRs tutorial in the 'FSUT dovetails' thread here. Unless I've totally misunderstood the question of course

Doh!
just realised what I was doing wrong, and I watched the video first as well!
Will tryy again and let you know how it goes.
