## Naming

### Match Case

Parameter ID: `ID_CA_MIRROR_TOOL_CASE`

Enabling this option will take into account letter case when renaming the objects after being mirrored.

### Prefix

Parameter ID: `ID_CA_MIRROR_TOOL_PRE`

By default, the mirrored copies take the same names as the originals. Here you can specify a prefix that is added to the names of the mirrored copies. This helps you to tell the mirrored copies apart from the originals in the **Object Manager**.

### Suffix

Parameter ID: `ID_CA_MIRROR_TOOL_POST`

By default, the mirrored copies take the same names as the originals. Here you can specify a postfix that is added to the names of the mirrored copies. This helps you to tell the mirrored copies apart from the originals in the **Object Manager**.

### Replace

Parameter ID: `ID_CA_MIRROR_TOOL_REPLACE`

### With

Parameter ID: `ID_CA_MIRROR_TOOL_WITH`

These two text input fields work in a similar way to the search and replace function found in most word processors. When naming the mirrored copies, the tool replaces the text defined by **Replace** with the text defined by **With**.

This function is typically used, for example, to automatically replace the text L_ at the start of each name for the character's left side with the text R_ to indicate the right side. Therefore, L_Hand becomes R_Hand when mirrored. If the option **Match Case** is enabled, the letter case will be taken into consideration.
