mesh symmetry by workplane only seems to work by global plane?

User guide says that subD mesh bilateral symmetry is by workplane, but I've only achieved it when the mesh is at origin with global WP. Win 8 FX here, does everyone have the same experience or is there a trick for other cases?

Hi Murray
I just checked here, it seems to be working correctly.

Symmetry is about the work plane x-axis.

Hmm. OK, that appears to be so, but then doing any z-transformation breaks the symmetry for me. How 'bout you?

That seems ok here as well.

FYI, SHIFT C is a hot key that rotates the work plane x-axis about the z-axis.
