Moving Symmetrically

Use the Symmetric Move option in the Move tool to move objects relative to each other about a plane as if they are mirrored objects but without the need to create a mirror association between the objects. Unlike the Mirror tool, the Symmetric move option can be used to move dissimilar geometry as well as similar.

You can use this option with an automatically determined virtual mirror plane based on the Move handle location or you can use the fulcrum tool guide to establish a fixed mirror plane.

With a fulcrum-selected mirror plane, geometry which is the same on both sides of the plane is found and moved automatically when moving geometry on one side of the plane. The center of each selected object determines which side of the plane the geometry lies on.

Faces, edges, vertices, section curves, datum planes, and sketch curves can be moved symmetrically. Curves that partially overlap the symmetry plane can be moved. The symmetric move option is not available for moving objects which have an established mirror association
