editing vectors

[dr01allen]

Is there some way to unlock copies of vectors?

when you draw a line then copy it (copy, mirror, etc.), the copies are linked so that changes to one copy are reflected in the other.

is there a way to break the link so changes are only applied to one?

You can try left clicking on the vector then right clicking and select remove attachments if that is what you are asking?

This only happens when you "mirror" an object. A copy and paste gives you two separte objects to work with so long as they are not "both" selected at the same time.

you're right, it's just the mirror function.

so to change a mirrored image, you need to copy, paste then flip the pasted object?

On a related note, is there a way to link objects on the different sides?

For instance, on the front I want a rectangle of 4X6" and on the back I want a circle of 3" centered on the rectangle. When I move the rectangle off center of the board, I want the circle to move with it.

I know I can attach the control points and force the alignment but it'd be nice if they could be linked in some way.
