Reversed Vinyl (not a plotter question)

[Angela]

I apologize for this stupid question in advance. I have a customer that wants window lettering for the inside of her store, it is to be reversed so it reads properly from the front. I thought no problem, I'll use the reflect tool in illy cs3 and there it is buuuuut there it isn't. What am I doing wrong? Please help.:iamwithstupid

Could you be more specific about the issue?

Generally you would select the art, click object > transform > and choose vertical axis.

? reflect should work.
i just simply design per usual, and when I go to cut... I flip the graphic (reflect tool in Gerber Plot) so it cuts reverse.

EDITED: o wait, i see where you can be messing up. horizontal/vertical, doesn't matter... horizontal just leaves your reflected graphic upside-down as well
anyways, when you choose Reflect... make sure you have "Objects" selected on the bottom of the menu. Otherwise it does nothing.

• Select object or text
• Go to 'Object' and scroll down to 'Transform'
• Click on 'reflect'
• Click on 'vertical' axis
• 90°

........ and you should be finished​
