Also use "Mirror" to '''flip components from the top side to the bottom side''' and vice versa.

You can reach this mode... 
by '''[m]''' or '''[Shift]+[M]''' or 
by '''"Mirror horizontally"''' in menu '''"Edit"''' or 
by '''"Mirror vertically"''' in menu '''"Edit"''' or 
by the tools [[Image:MirrorH.jpg]] or [[Image:MirrorV.jpg]]

What you can do... 
Hover the cursor to the desired vertical mirror axis and click [[Mousekeys|'''M1''']]. If you want a horizontal mirror axis then press [[Mousekeys|'''M2''']]. All selected elements are mirrored around this clicked centre.

You can also directly start mirroring with key '''[m]''' for horizontal mirroring to the vertical axis or '''[Shift]+[M]''' if you want vertical mirroring to the horizontal axis. '''Remember''': Mirror axis is '''cursor position''' when using the keyboard keys.

When mirroring a selected component package on top layers in PCB view, it is flipped from the "top" layers to the "bottom" layers.

Leave this mode...

== Mirror horizontally without flipping ==

In PCB: Mirroring a copper bottom element effects that it gets mirrored and flipped automatically towards copper top (and the other way round). This flipping to the opposite side can be avoided by the use of option: '''"Mirror horizontally without flipping"''' in menu "Edit". The following text on copper bottom (red) remains on copper bottm though mirrored:
