Please help me identify this symbol

Hoping for help with this symbol.

It appears next to a sketch line and seems to indicate it is constrained somehow but I can't figure it out. I've tried an image search and found nothing useful.

Project.  Your pic of the icon is actually upside down.

Sketch tool to copy an article (the outline of the face) into a sketch.  Projected Articles are normally purple, in my colour scheme.

Might help…..

Thanks - that makes sense now. That is the orientation of the icon as it appears on my screen.

Now that I've checked the image was inverted horizontally. This is what I have on screen -

This is my ribbon menu icon.

Might help....

Yes, that is how the icon appears in my menu structure. It is appearing the way I have shown it when I hover over a sketch point.

It's indicating the point (or any other geometry) is projected. If you click the icon the sketch for the source geometry will highlight.

Also if you turn the sketch 180° the icon rotates with it.

Thanks.

I feel a bit stupid for not realising the symbol rotated with the sketch and not recognising it when it was upside down!
