Create the reflection of one or more selected sketch entities about a specified line. Use the Mirror tool in either of two ways: first pre-select the entities to mirror and then the tool, or select the tool and then the entities.

This video will show you how to use the Mirror sketch tool on the sketch toolbar. The Mirror tool creates a reflection of one or more selected sketch entities about a specific line. To use it, first, click and drag to select the entities that you wish to mirror. Next, click on the Mirror sketch tool, and then select the line that you wish to use to mirror the sketch entities. Alternately, before you select any of the sketch entities, you could click the Mirror tool, select a line in which to use to mirror the entities, and then select the entities that you want mirrored.
