Mirroring in sketch won't select objects

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm new to Fusion but I think I'm encountering an error.

I was editing a project and wanted to mirror a part of a sketch, I went in to make changes and for some reason could no longer select an object in the sketch while using the mirroring tool. I thought this could have been something to do with my preferences so I've reset them to default but that didn't resolve the issue. I also tried opening other sketches which had mirrors already applied to them and tried to recreate the existing mirror, but the same issue was happening. The issue also exists in entirely new projects.

I've included a screen cap of the problem, I can select the object outside of the mirroring mode, but in mirroring I can only select the outside edge, or the centre point.

I'm sure I'm missing something glaringly obvious but I just can't see it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mirror will only select the actual geometry (lines, arcs, points etc.) not the profile so what you're seeing is the expected behaviour.

Hi,

window select is an option

Thanks for that! I think I was getting confused along the way...
