Symmetry
Updated May 14, 2026 10:03
Symmetrical elements lie on opposite sides of an axis of symmetry and behave as mirror images of each other. You can use the Symmetry constraint to create a symmetrical relationship between sketch elements.
How to create a symmetry constraint To create a Symmetry constraint:
On the same sketch plane, select two similar elements, such as two arcs or two lines.
Select Symmetry from the constraints menu.
Select a line or an edge for the axis of symmetry.
