1. Group object 1 -0:19

2. Duplicate group

3. Select group 2 (not the object) in the channel box, input negative value in scale to the corresponding axis you want to mirror in -0:29

4. SHFT select over both objects and rotate

If that's not working you have to center the pivot as it's the rotation point

 

If you want to add a Center pivot shortcut to a shelf tab

1. Paste this Center pivot script      xform -ws -a -piv 0 0 0;

    into the script editor under the MEL tab

2. Highlight pasted script, RMB click + drag to shelf

3. A popup will appear, choose MEL

 

To change icon

1. LMB over new shortcut> edit

2. In the shelf editor> shelves> Next to Icon name click on the folder icon, choose desired icon

 

 

Same steps to mirror rotation with an extra step

1. Group object 1

2. Duplicate group

3. Select group 2 (not the object) through the outliner, in the channel box input negative value in scale to the corresponding axis you want to mirror in

4. SHFT select over both objects

5. Center pivot, rotate

Don't Forget to reset the Rotation Tool settings before doing the steps
