  Subject: [Bf-docboard] Misleading sentence in section "Scaling =
Mirroring object"

  The present documentation says :
  A different application of the scale tool is mirroring objects, which =
is effectively nothing but a scaling with a negative factor in one =
direction. To mirror in the direction of the screen X or Y axes, press =
XKEY or YKEY, respectively, during scale mode. If you want a precise =
mirroring, make sure you don't move the mouse before confirming the =
scaling with LMB or ENTER.

  This no more up to date with 2.32 (at least on my PC), X press once =
scales toward the global X axis (without mirroring) and presse twice =
scales toward the local object X axis. same for Y and the Z axis

  The best method I found to effectively mirror object is (in edit mode/ =
or normal mode)
  Press S for entering scale mode
  Press X or Y or Z (once or twice for definig local or global =
mirroring)
  Press N (for entering numerical value, the selected axis value appears =
between  <  > )
  Enter "-1" for mirroring
  Press SpaceBar to validate the moves

  Remarque   : while entering the numerical value you can circle the =
selected axis by pressing TAB

  Hope this help
  Best regards=20
