Hello @charlescooke58 ,

If you are in sketch environment and want to mirror a line, follow below steps.

Create the line (This is the first line)
Now create the mirror line(This can be construction/center/solid line)
Now from the create drop down, select the mirror command
Select the Objects to mirror and then select the mirror line.

Let me know if this helps, Thanks!

Thanks for that, that is what I did, in the diagram I selected the mirror comd. then it wouldnt allow me to select the spline, but I could select the centre line. So obviously I have done something else wrong.

Hello @charlescooke58 ,

I see that the sketch you created for the spline is a 3D sketch and looks like the 3D curve is not selected as object for the 3D sketch in mirror.

I am checking with the team now and will get back to you on this

Thanks!

Thanks for that I drew the spline this time as a control point and then it worked as Mohamed said it was in 3d so that I guess was why. As for the mistakes I agree but I dont know how to correct them its all the ones in red is it?
