Description

The Sketcher Symmetry command mirrors sketcher geometry in reference to a chosen line or sketch axis.

Usage

  1. Select the geometry to be copied.
  2. Select a line or sketch axis to be used as the symmetry axis.
  3. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Symmetry button.
    • Select the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Symmetry option from the menu.
    • The keyboard shortcut: Z then S.
  4. The selected geometry will be copied symmetrically to the selected line or sketch axis.

Note that no extra symmetry constraint will be added.
