Mirror BlockReference on UCS

I having problems mirroring blockreferences when the active coordinate system is not the WCS.  We are mirroring through the base point of the blockreference.  On the WCS I am doing this:

 

Pt = Blk.Position.Add(New Vector3d(0, 50, 0))

lin = New Line3d(Blk.Position, Pt)

Blk.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Mirroring(lin))

 For the WCS it works very well, however when the current coordinate system is a UCS then it does not work.  I have tried this:

 

mtrx = Ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem

Dim vt As New Vector3d(0, 50, 0)

'vt.TransformBy(mtrx)

Pt = Blk.Position.Add(vt)

lin = New Line3d(InsPt, Pt)

lin.TransformBy(mtrx)

Blk.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Mirroring(lin))

 I think my problem is the end point of the line, pt.  I tried to transform the vt but that does not work either.  Can someone please help me here.  Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

If I don't misunderstand, you want to mirror a block about a line parallel to the current UCS Y axis which containd the block position.

 

Vector3d vt = Vector3d.YAxis.TransformBy(ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem)
Blk.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Mirroring(new Line3d(Blk.Position, Blk.Position + vt)))

Thank you very much _gile this is exactly what I was trying to do.  I was going to use the Matrix3d.Mirroring(Plane) method.  How do I get the Yaxis Plane of the current coordinate system?

Plane plane = new Plane(br.Position, Vector3d.XAxis.TransformBy(ed.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem));
Blk.TransformBy(Matrix3d.Mirroring(plane));
