That "bug" has been in almost all versions.

Try to flip without modifications like chamfer and fillet, and add them afterwards.

Hello @lkirit2000 ,

No, it is not a bug at all, and it is a case that mirror feature continue to leverage the parent geometry which lead to such kind of behavior which is an user error case for me.

Look at below image, it show that your fixed plane is the blue one and the mirrored draft feature continue to respect the blue face as it's base geometry and build the mirror draft feature on top of that plane as well, you have to modify to a more neutral plane such as XZ plane for draft 3, YZ plane for draft 4, 5 and 11.

Check out the fixed part from attachment and Hope it helps!

Sometimes working with body combinations is easier. I've suppressed several features, but they can be deleted as well.
