O.K. I know that Metasequoia isnt the easiest program, in fact it's probably the hardest but anyway. I heard there is a way to make an object reflect(make it upside down) with this program. Any experts or any one familiar with this program know how?

Sorry if I was sarcastic - its actually harder than that. If the object is not selected, choose select all, and then click rotate. click the x axis - i think its in red. If not then just rotate it around the axis thats closest to the right. thats all. fro some reason, objects are all tilted - so left is top, right is bottom, and up and down, as well as foreward and backward are the sides. Hope this helps. Have strpix and meta running at the same time, then you can check to see if the object is upsidedown without having to run the editor.

Your link for metaseqouia doesn't work. It gives me a download counter page and says not working and inform the owner of the site to fix it.

I'm just trying to get some objects to have reflections. I got it to work in the program(flip it 180 degrees then copy it paste it then flip the other one so I have a object on an object) but it doesn't save it as a .dxf file and Strpix only opens .dxf files. And Jliboy's link doesn't work(please fix it) .

Mirroring isn't the problem anymore! The problem is that THE PROGRAM WON'T SAVE THE FILE AS A .dxf FILE!! I HAVE THE LATEST ONE. STRPIX ONLY OPENS .dxf FILES. SO HOW DO I CHANGE THE FILE TO A .dxf FILE.
