Hi Randy --
I think this one is a bug (or in this case more accurately: an unimplemented feature). It should perform the way you want (and I think we should put in this feature). But there is a way to script in etoys what you are trying to do.
Cheers,
Alan

I'm attempting to perform a 2-D reflection symmetry on an object by doing a left-right flip 180 degs - as depicted in the attached jpg (assuming it comes across OK). Basically what I've done is sketched 1/2 of a (bilaterally symmetric) leaf, moved its rotation center to the axis of reflection, and in a script:
Sketch's rotationStyle - flip left right Sketch turn by 180
However, when I execute the script, the object gets flipped "in place", about the center of the object (as if I'd never moved the rotation center), rather than about the rotation center as I desired. In fact, moving the rotation center anywhere has no effect on the flip action.
Suggestions?
