Mirror the Geometry of a Sketch

General

  • Mirroring is done by copying the line to be mirrored in relation to the symmetry axis.
  • The symmetry axis can be the axis of the sketching coordinate system, a line selected to be mirrored, or another polyline.

Mirror the lines

  1. Select Sketch | Line Tools | Mirror.
  2. Select the symmetry axis.
  3. Click the lines that are mirrored.
    • Note that the lines in a line chain are mirrored at once.
  4. If you want to continue mirroring, but change the symmetry axis, then
    • Press the V key or
    • Click the middle mouse button.
    • And click the new symmetry axis and then the lines to be mirrored.
  5. When you want to stop mirroring
    • Select another function or
    • Press the Esc key.

Mirroring selected lines

  1. Select the line or lines.
    • Press the Ctrl key to select several lines.
  2. Select the context-sensitive function Mirror.
    • Note that only the selected line is mirrored from a line chain, unlike above.
