Advantage of using Rotate & Mirror parameters with a DB, compared to...

[.chad]

what is the advantage of using the rotate & mirror paramaters with a DB / or regular block instead of the default CAD rotate / mirror? i can see in a complex block, or for rotating / mirroring a specific part of a block, but what about simple blocks (say - a toilet & grabbars with no vis states and what not)?

single click results vs. finding command and then finding/ selecting basepoints. In Other Words: SPEED

Speed is the main thing. Plus keeping blocks in the positive X axis is always good practise too. Ever go and see how many blocks have positive X Y and / or Z axis in a regular drawing using regular blocks? Not pretty.

i like this answer. ive tried to rescale all the blocks at once, when half were -X it was ugly.

thanks
