Symmetry of the objects' characteristic points relative to a segment is established using the Symmetry of two points command.

Step-by-step instructions

1.Specify the axis of symmetry — a segment, a centerline, or an auxiliary line. The name of the selected object is displayed in the Symmetry Axis field on the Parameter Panel.

2.Specify two defining points to be symmetrical.

When working with a drawing please note that all the parameterized objects must belong to the same view.

If the existing constraints do not prevent symmetric placement of the points relative to the segment, then the image will be rebuilt, and after that the preset condition will be fulfilled. Constraints Point Symmetry will be imposed on the objects that these points belong to.

3.To complete the command, click Finish .

Additional features for applying constraints...

The Symmetry of points constraint can automatically arise during the construction of objects in parametric mode. For this, the Setting up the parametric mode In the list, the option to Parameterize must include the Symmetry option. The constraint will appear when you run the Mirror, if an existing segment (and not two points belonging to the symmetry axis) is specified as the symmetry axis.

Constraints are displayed in the graphic area in the constraint display mode. Symmetry of points is indicated by the symbol .
