Category: Effing bug. Not an option in the wonderfully warm world of the available menu.

Selecting a few primitives to mirror on an axis now does not work. I have a screen recording but cannot upload it because having paid a few hundred dollars I am a new user and so cannot share in the reindeer games.

Hi, thanks for reporting it. Is it possible that you have the same issue as this?

> Hey! This is a bug in this version, the fix will be released within one or two weeks with 5.40. Until that the workaround is to select the sketches and disconnect them before mirroring. [image]

We are aware of it, it will be fixed with the next update.  
In the meantime, your user rights were allowed, you’ll be able to upload files 🙂
