Add a Symmetry Constraint

General

  • A symmetry constraint can be set to lines, points and sketch planes.
  • The symmetry plane is selected as the last element.

Add a symmetry constraint to a 3D sketch

  1. Select Sketch | Constraints | Add symmetry constraint or
    • select the context-sensitive function Constraints > Concentric
  2. Select the first line, point, or sketch plane.
  3. Select the second line, point, or sketch plane.
  4. Select the symmetry plane or planar surface.
    • The second selected line or point moves so that it is symmetrical with the first line or point with respect to the symmetry plane.
  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 to add new symmetry constraints
  6. Stop adding symmetry constraints
    • Select another function or
    • press the V key or
    • press the Esc key or
    • click the middle mouse button.

Note:
  • You can delete a symmetry constraint by deleting it from the constraint list.
