When using the Control Points capability, you need to symmetrize the
control points according to a reference plane. |
 |
The Symmetrize command symmetrizes the selected control
points according to a reference plane:
- By selecting an existing plane.
- By creating a plane, through the contextual menu of the
Reference Plane field.
- By using the XY plane, through the contextual menu of the
Reference Plane field.
- By using the YZ plane, through the contextual menu of the
Reference Plane field.
- By using the ZX plane, through the contextual menu of the
Reference Plane field.

Symmetry mode is automatically launched when a plane is selected. In V5R17, to enhance productivity, as soon as a plane is
selected for the symmetry action, the symmetry button gets automatically
checked so that the symmetry mode is automatically launched. To exit
this symmetry mode, just uncheck the symmetry button.
