Mirror option on iPad

[Esmeralda5E46]

I am trying to design a garment on illustrator on the iPad. Normally I just draw the whole thing but I am trying to get a hang of this mirror option to get things done faster. Can someone help me? Not sure what I am doing wrong or how to start ?

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Illustrator forum so that proper help can be offered

Can you please show a screenshot of what's happening? And maybe describe what you want? Or show a sketch?
