Mirror function

When I mirror a boom it does not mirror the mapping position. In some instances it seems to map way off in the other direction. For example a boom with a negative mapped value of -4.5m ended up mapped at -19 something when I tried to mirror it to stage left.

While on the issue of mapped values (which I think is a feature found in no other lighting app) - can we please simplify the mapping process. Map to next mouse click or something like that?

There was a bug in mirroring a mapped position. This is fixed in 0.9.3408.

I used that function to layout a big dance plot so I thought it was thoroughly tested. But, it was a definite coding error. I guess I must have fixed my plot and not realized that there was something amiss due to the software...

Anyway, that is fixed and the buttons in the Inspector's Position tab have been replaced with a popup menu. There is a new option to "Map to Vertical at Next Click".

Brilliant. Thanks. All those retentives using Vectorworks don't know what they are missing.
