Trouble with symmetry object

[vid2k2]

IMHO, do a current stae to oject and re-apply the tex.

I think the original is saved in the OM, if not, revert
and make a copy.

Yep, it's an unfortunate problem with the current symmetry object.

If you really need to maintain the symmetry object (rather than making the whole thing editable) try this:

Assuming it's OK to turn your NURBS objects into editable polygon objects, it's fairly easy to fix UVs matching your current projections - just select the texture tag in the object manager, and click 'Assign UVW coordinates' in the Tags menu. This should give you UVs that are pretty much identical to the cubic/flat projections (not necessarily 100% identical though, since there are some limitations when going from clean implicit coordinates to explicit polygon-based coordinates, but usually the difference is quite subtle).

OK, I think I found a way around it, thanks to my mate at work - if you create an instance object, and the give it a -1 scale in the axis you want to be mirrored, you will get a flipped instance with the non-UVW mapped textures intact.
One more thing apparently the stick texture tag also helps

Sorry guys, I made a mistake and post a wrong message in here. I could not delete it,

I am really sorry:(

I wrote my Undertow plugin (http://skinprops.com/undertow.php) to help with situations exactly like this (http://skinprops.com/ext/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?73). There's a free DEMO version (http://skinprops.com/download.php?view.33) available (some functionality is disabled), and the full version is reasonably priced (see first link :) ).
