Difficulty Finding Mirror Process in Adobe Illustrator
Users should be able to easily find and use a dedicated mirror tool or a clearly labelled option for mirroring objects within the interface.

There are several way to mirror in Illustrator.
And English, sadly, have to many synonyms for this, and it’s hard to tell who will remember which one... and I don’t know what language do you use for the UI.Ai has:
1. Reflect Tool (in the Rotate Tool’s tool group), and its dialog one can call with Enter key
2. Dedicated Flip buttons in Properties panel, in Transform section
3. Flip commands (in the Transform panel’s menu)
4. Object > Repeat > Mirror type of object, for having it live
5. An advanced way to flip art with a Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform effect (with a proper reference point set, 1 copy chosen, and Reflect X option enabled)Some of these are more prominent, some are less.
Can you locate them?
