To place selected objects symmetrically relative to the set axis, use the Mirror command.

Step-by-step instructions

1.Select the objects to position symmetrically. To do this, specify the required objects in the Object selection Select the required objects and click Create Object .  In the Parameter Toolbar, the symmetric placement controls will appear.

If objects are selected before the Mirror command is issued, the object selection subprocess is not initiated. The system proceeds directly to executing the symmetrical placement command.

Names of the selected objects are displayed in the Objects field.

The object selected for transformation may contain text. The Mirror Texts option allows to determine how the text will look after the symmetry transformation. If the option is enabled, the text will be mirrored, if it is disabled, it will remain as is.

The option Mirror Texts does not apply to the text of the designations selected to transform the symmetry..

1.Set the symmetry axis using one of the methods:

•specify two points the axis goes through;

•specify a point and set the slope angle of the symmetry axis to the X axis of the current coordinate system in the Symmetry axis slope angle field;

•Select an existing linear object;

•the SC or LSC axis.

Once the axis of symmetry is specified, the transformation will be performed automatically.

To position the cursor precisely and to set the operation parameters you can use snaps and geometrical calculator.

3.To complete operation of the command, click Finish .
