Sketch Mirror command, Object and Mirror line cannot be selected

[sfox2WMDD]

Hi

I would like to mirror a sketch in a construction line both made in previous sketches, but I'm not able to select those sketches when in the mirror command.

A simplified version:

Create Sketch, select XY plane

Center Rectangle with center at origo and 2 x dimension => black

Stop Sketch

Create Sketch, select XY plane

Vertical Line through origo, center constraint, X for construction line => black

Stop Sketch

Create Sketch, select XY plane

Circle C placed somewhere in the left side of the rectangle, 2 x dimension to fully define the circle => black  

Stop Sketch

Create Sketch, select XY plane

Sketch Mirror command

(I want to mirror the circle in the construction line, but I'm not able to select the circle (The Object), and if I click the "Mirror Line" I'm not able to select the construction line either)

What do I do wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Mirror works with all the / your current articles in the active sketch.

Might help...

Thanks for your help!

As far as I understand your answer, I can only use a construction line as a mirror line when all is created within the same sketch ( Create Sketch - Stop Sketch).

This means that if I, while making another sketch, want to reuse the same construction line as a mirror line, I will have to draw a new construction line on top of the old one. 

I like to divide my construction into several sketches as it makes it easier to edit afterwards, but it seems that there are limits to this idea.

Thanks

You can Project the Mirror Line into the current sketch, is a copy but not redrawn....
