Menu: Parametric ➤ Geometric Constraints ➤ Symmetric
Summary
This command is equivalent to the Symmetric option in
GEOMCONSTRAINT
on page 464.
For lines, the line’s angle is made symmetric (and not the endpoints). For arcs
and circles, the center and radius are made symmetric (not the endpoints of
the arc).
Following are the valid constraint objects and points:
■ Line
■ Polyline segment
■ Circle
■ Arc
■ Polyline arc
■ Ellipse
NOTE You must have an axis around which you will constrain the objects or points
to be symmetrical. This is referred to as the symmetry line.
