Description

Mirror a sketch along the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin. This command is invoked while not editing a sketch. It creates a new sketch which contains the mirrored geometry.

Usage

Select sketch to be mirrored (typically by clicking on it in the tree view).
Click on Mirror sketch or choose Sketch → Mirror sketch from the top menu.
The resulting sketch is created as a separate new object.
