Have you tried assigning the symbols and clines as a "Group" and then
mirroring the group?

I think this might work the only issue is it may also mirror your vias
and if some of them are 

Test points the access pad may be on the wrong side of the board now.

I'm sorry, you are right.  I thought I had done that in 15.2, but
obviously I was wrong as it doesn't work in 15.7 or 16.0.   :}  My
apologies to anyone who was going nutz trying to figure out how it was
done...

 

Been working support too long :[

        George,
        
        How did you manage to mirror a module? I tried it and the mirror
command does not apply to a single unit which is a module. I could
mirror only components, but not clines/shapes which are also part of the
module. I tried with 15.7 Performance.

                Never tried to mirror a module, works ok?

                We typically try to do stuff like this as a module.
Especially when we are trying to exactly replicate the circuit.  Then it
can be easily moved/rotated/mirrored without needing to reassign
anything.

                        I have to match line and shape of some clines...
is there a way to copy and mirror this lines...  of course I'll also
have the issue of needing to reassign the new nets to them.  Anyone have
any ideas for this?  

                        These are not just matched length, but also
matched curves and shapes of clines.
