Gerry, that should work, but there are is the possibility of other via
issues when mirroring, not only for test points but for sequentially
laminated boards where the particular drilling "structure" may not exist
on the back side (i.e. you only only want laser vias on top, not the
bottom).
In my humble opinion:
The modules should be able to be mirrored "out-of-the-box" without
playing games with them. It is really dumb to have them able to move
but not mirror, and Cadence should implement this. The above cases
would have to throw an error if they happened (compare the stackup
before actually mirroring, maybe), but the point is they would help the
users.

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.
