17.4 to 17.2 downrev fails because of "mirrored_layers"

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem downreving a brd file from 17.4 to 17.2 because of "mirrored_layers". I have searched everywhere for info about this and can't find anything.

Can someone help with this? What is mirrored_layers state and where did it come from?

Thank you!

    In 17.4 latest hotfix, mirroring an object with mirrored geometry results in mirrored_layers. Mirrored structures flipped using the Mirror Geometry command in HotFix 028 prevents a database from being opened or downreved to previous versions of layout editors. 

    Use Display – Element (show element) or Find By Query to identify flipped structures. These structures are marked as mirrored_layers. You can flip back mirrored structures using the Mirror Geometry option of the move command before downreving the database.
