PDS:Set Mirror Line Tool
From OptiTexHelpEn
Use the Set Mirror Line tool to set a symmetry line of a piece, and to create a symmetrical half. Every change to the contour will apply also to the symmetric half; except internal objects. When you plot or cut the piece, this action will apply to the whole piece.
Note:
- In most cases it is better to use the Set Half Tool.
- Selecting Reflected Half in View & Selection has no effect on this type of symmetry (unlike the Set Half symmetry).

Operation
 1. Set the symmetry line |
 2. A dotted line marks the symmetry line |
Changing The Contour
3. When moving a contour point, the symmetry line also moves automatically
Adding An Internal Object
- Internal objects are duplicated when creating the mirror reflection (In Version 10.3).
- After the mirror symmetry is set, any changes to the internals will not reflect to the mirror (except Notches).
