There is a basic mirror operation while in sketch mode whereby you can set a construction line as a mirror. Any new solids you add in 3D mode won't be included in this mirror op.
A full mirror tool can be found in the developer's own upgrade path: http://www.spaceclaim.com/DSM-upgrade-CAD.aspx

Not having a full 3D mirror tool is definitely inconvenient, though I seldom really need it. There is a workaround though:
- Export the object you want to mirror to an STL file
- Open the .STL object in slic3r (the 3D printer slicer software).
- In slic3r select Object->Mirror, and export the mirrored object in STL again.
- Use 'Insert File' option in Designspark to insert the mirrored object.
- The object now consists of facets, so select the mirrored object in the tree view, right click on the 'Facets' and select 'Convert to solid - merge faces'
Sounds like a lot of work, but it's actually quite fast if you know how.
