Summary: At times we are unable to create a shape and flip it horizontally or vertically with the same size (with the width & height) .
Here’s a short procedure to help you with the process:
Please uncheck the option for Item-> Edit> Shape
To create an horizontal reflection:
- Copy the width of your shape from the measurement palette
- Drag the right (or left) bounds of your shape across its opposite side
- You should end up with your shape flipped horizontally but distorted
- Paste the copied width back into the measurement palette
To create a vertical reflection:
- Copy the height of your shape from the measurement palette
- Drag the top (or bottom) bounds of your shape across its opposite side
- You should end up with your shape flipped vertically but distorted.
- Paste the copied height back into the measurement palette
