If you later want to move the work off-center or rotate it, you must mirror the objects manually.
To mirror horizontally (left/right), duplicate the object and reverse the positive and negative values of Position X, Rotate Y, and Rotate Z.
To mirror vertically (up/down), do this on Position Y, Rotate X, and Rotate Z.


I also think it would be very useful to have a mirror duplication command or the ability to "expand" a mirror instance.

Hey @Ana Mesas 

To mirror objects it's kind of "easy".

1) Select the subject/ object you want to mirror.
2) Properties Panel scroll down to near the bottom.

3) Choose the mirror option.

 

  


Grouping is similar
1) Open the layers panel (Top right corner)
2) Select the layers you want to group Hold Shift + click
3) Press group button
