Mirrors sketcher geometry in reference to a chosen line or sketch axis.

Select the geometry to be copied, then a line or sketch axis to be used as the symmetry axis.
Press the Symmetry button or choose Sketch → Sketcher tools → Symmetry from the top menu.
The selected geometry will be copied symmetrically to the selected line or sketch axis.

Note that no extra symmetry constraint will be added.
