Mirror curves in a sketch
Mirror copies curves and points to the other side of a line. The copy stays symmetric: change the original and the copy follows.
Access: Sketch mode toolbar > Mirror.
Steps
- Draw the line to mirror across. A construction line is usual.
- Click Mirror.
- Click the first curve to copy and
Shift+click the others, or select them before you click Mirror. - Click the line to mirror across. The copies appear at once.
Points that lie on the line are shared by the original and the copy.
Tips
- To mirror a whole part of a model rather than sketch curves, use Mirror on the toolbar outside the sketch.
- Mirror before dimensioning the copy: the copy is fully defined by the original.
