Repeat mirror is not working

[lucillen46641511]

i select the object that i want mirrored, i go to object, repeat,mirror and nothing happens.  i did the option, and selected mirror, and still nothing. 

i did notice a red bounding box once selected, not sure if that is significant or if its always that color, never noticed before.

Should look like this

You can rotate or change distance by moving handles shown.

What do you get?????

Please show us a screenshot: what you have with opened Layers Panel and Appearance Panel

I think it is working as designed. What you are doing is getting a mirror image of your mirror image. In effect you are making a duplicate of the original exactly on top of hte original.

thats just the problem. I AM NOT getting a mirror image. yes i am aware of a mirror image, the problem is however, its not giving me a mirror image. thanks

It is an image. Try again with a vector object.

Does repeat works with images? I don't think so.

[pixxxelschubser]

Create a symbol from your image and try it again with a symbol instance.

Repeat does not work with images, but when the image is a symbol, that works.

Good workaround pixxxelschubser
