For example, if you mirror about the Y-Z plane, then the X would be on the other end.  To visualize that, if you put X-Y in the center of a hole on your part, and you mirror about the "Y axis" (or Y-Z plane), the hole would be on the other side after mirroring, so your X-Y would be in the center of your new hole.  Hopefully that makes sense...  the work offset remains on the feature you 1st pick, but on the new mirrored imaginary part.

You need to be aware tho, that when you do that, mirror is an actual mirror... that means that whatever was climb milling, will now be conventional milling on the mirrored part.  That is most of the time not suitable.  So there is another way around this:

-copy your entire setup with all the operations.

-Change climb to conventional on everything (you can do that in 1 shot using "edit and compare").

-regen all toolpaths.

-mirror those.  So now, because you changed them to conventional mill in your copy, they will become climb again!
