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
- Select Sketch | Line Tools | Mirror.
- Select the symmetry axis.
- Click the lines that are mirrored.
- Note that the lines in a line chain are mirrored at once.
- 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.
- When you want to stop mirroring
- Select another function or
- Press the Esc key.
Mirroring selected lines
- Select the line or lines.
- Press the Ctrl key to select several lines.
- Select the context-sensitive function Mirror.
- Note that only the selected line is mirrored from a line chain, unlike above.
