I was adding a new sketch to the part. and on the sidebar where all the sketching and extrusions are running down the list, any new sketches get put after the mirror. So I was deleting the mirror and then redoing the mirror after I added a new sketch.
This is not my industry as it is the 3rd time I have ever tried using this program, let alone having no experience prior.
I don't work with computers other than for music, gaming, Netflix. so this is a big adjustment for me, so haven't figured out everything and the best ways to make things work. but trying.
I really do appreciate the help! thank you both for responding so quickly.
back to the question of selecting the plane or face, I am, and it still isn't working I have tried multiple buttons and faces and different things to try to make it work anywhere and it's not working all of a sudden. And since I don't have time to diagnose the situation myself I thought I would come here and ask. as I do try to do as much research as possible. I'm presenting the design to a client tomorrow.
Its really weird, maybe just glitching? thinking I may try to save this as a new file, and going back to the original if I go back in the history far enough that I can bring it back to working and try again.
now is there a way you can move sketches or the Mirror in the list on the left side, to a lower position so that there are no items past it. as when its in the list that way it doesn't mirror any sketches added to the list that come after it. or should it be doing it and for some reason, it just might not be updating the part in real time, and if I waited longer it would or re-opened the file it then would be mirrored? I'm just speculating possibilities. I just know glitches and things sometimes can happen like that.
