Scotty - those tools don't work for me. That's the problem!

Here's a short video demonstrating what I'm experiencing.

I can, of course, use another tool to do the flipping or mirroring, including the earlier version of Designer Pro. Just seems strange that I can't do it here.

Interestingly, the flip and mirror tools do work on objects created with Designer Pro 15.1. But not bitmaps.

Thanks for the additional information. That looks strange indeed. Have you tried to restart the program? Perhaps even bij right-clicking the program icon and selecting 'Run as administrator'.

You have Smart Transform enabled.
With the Lock Aspect Ratio (lock icon) unselected, you get this failure.

Hiding in a totally spurious context menu of the Lock Aspect Ratio is an option for Smart Transform - right-click the lock icon and untick Smart transform.
I never have it selected.

I wonder how Xara manages to advise all its other Customers with the same difficulties?
