    how to mirror a 2d image drawn in the xy plane.I want to mirror
    it about a line drawn in y axis. Tried the F1 help but couldn't get it to work.

    Smile Scale the Y axis by Minus one.

    That's easy.
    Scale the Y axis by Minus one.
    It will be easiest if your Y0 reference is along the Y centre line
    It will flip around Y0.

    If you scale both axis by -1 then you have done a 180 deg rotation around X0 Y0
    Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.

    See the attached diagram. The scale idea suggested above doesn't work in Esprit.
