Description

Creates a symmetric constraint to ensure two entities remain symmetric with respect to a selected line. 

Methods to create a symmetric constraint

There are two methods to begin creating a symmetric constraint:
  • Select first entity 
  • 2Points 
Select First Entity
Begin creating a symmetric constraint by selecting a 2D entity then:
Select Second Entity
Select an entity to make symmetric to the first entity then: 
Select Line of symmetry: 
Select a line to act as a mirror line between the two entities. The first entity maintains its position while the second entity adjusts, as necessary, to become symmetric about that line. 
2Points
Begin creating a symmetric constraint by selecting a valid point on a 2D entity then: 
Select second point 
Select a second valid point on a 2D entity to make symmetric with the first point.
Select line of symmetry 
Select a line to act as a mirror line between the two entities. The first point maintains its position while the second point adjusts, as necessary, to become symmetric about that line.
