I think making the line width zero did it for some things like circles
etc as well, don't use that much though..

Hmmm.. :) Maybe instead read the English one again now that you are
a little more familiar with Eagle..
Try turning on the tplace layer, placing your SMT device, then use
that little mirror tool on it, right below the move and beside rotate.
It's in the tutorial PDF somewhere, the 4.1 or so new version is when I
