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.

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

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

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.

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

Should look like this

 

 

You can rotate or change distance by moving handles shown.

 

What do you get?????
