having a problem with strokes and the pen tool in AE 2024 CC

[AviatorNJadv]

I'm having a weird issue and I'm driving myself crazy. I tried to draw some bezier lines with the pen tool to make a trim path animation for an infographic and when I went to duplicate the top line and mirror it using the flip effect it separated the path and the stroke and mirrored them instead of just flipping them both. i think I'm just lacking sleep but some fresh eyes would be much appreciated. Am I just an idiot making things more complicated then they need to be? lol

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

What is meant by a flip effect? How do you flip a layer? To achieve a flip effect, change the scale transformation from 100 to -100 on the axis you want to flip on.
