Note: For text to be mirrored, it must be Flexible. Otherwise the text will read the same way on both sides of the mirror line. See Text Properties. When selecting objects for mirroring, especilly text or dimensions, it is important that the selector be in 2D Mode. If the selector is in 3D mode the text will be mirrored as well as any geometry. In 2D mode the text remains normal (in readable orientation) while the geometry is mirrored.
