tooolbox got a reaction from Hiswe in Is there a "Live mirror" option?
Sure. It's something that I discovered while I was messing around, trying to set up an iOS icon template. I'm not sure if it's documented anywhere, or even intended behavior--perhaps MattP can weigh in.
1. Save your document.
2. Equip the Place Image Tool.
3. When the file dialog pops up, select the file that you're currently working on.
4. Place a box anywhere. You now have an embedded document. It's populated with the contents of your current document.
5. Double-click the embedded document to edit it. You can clear out what's in there and put whatever you like. It doesn't seem to be linked to anything.
6. Back in your main document, copy and paste your embedded document layer.
7. Layer > Transform > Flip Horizontal.
What it looks like is that changing the embedded document adjusts your main document in realtime--but only the layer that you started editing from. You can update any other layers by zooming in or out a little bit.
Again, this may not particularly be intended behavior. Perhaps I broke something, but it's sure useful for setting up an icon template like this.
I'm on AD 1.1.2 from the App Store.
Edit: Oh, I realize that I'm posting in the Beta section--whoops. I'm not using the Beta, sorry!
