Prior to the addition of text I could mirror along an axis and it was perfect. Now if I mirror seemingly simple shape, I.e., a rectangle, it works perfect. If I do an object that has any radius, etc. it either explodes or is set down and to the left and unraveled. Is there a fix for this? I am having to copy and move a piece and rotate it 180 degrees which requires several more steps and therefore time.

I also noticed that a lot of my objects can no longer be copied and moved, it will drag to where I want it and then it snaps back and tells me that constraints could not be solved. This was never an issue for me until after text came into the program.

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.
