GcSymmetric

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic, Pro and Platinum, Bricscad (Linux) Classic, Pro and Platinum

Constrains two entities or points to lie symmetrically with respect to a selected line.

This command is equivalent to the Symmetric option of the GEOMCONSTRAINT command.

Accessing the Command

command bar: gcsymmetric

menu bar: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Symmetric

toolbar: 2D Constraints |

: gcsymmetric

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select first entity or [2Points] <2Points>: (Select the first entity, or press Enter, then select two points.)

Select second entity: (Select the second entity.)

Select symmetry line: (Select a line.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Select first entity	Select a valid constraint entity.
Select second entity	Select a valid constraint entity.
Select symmetry line	Select a line. The second entity is placed symmetrically to the first entity with respect to the selected line. Lines: The angle with the symmetry line is made symmetric, not the position of the endpoints. Circles: The center and radius are made symmetric. Arcs: The center and radius are made symmetric, not the endpoints. Ellipses: The center, major and minor axes are made symmetric. Elliptical arcs: The center, major and minor axes are made symmetric, not the endpoints.

2Points
Select first point	Select a valid constraint point.
Select second point	Select a valid constraint point.
Select symmetry line	Select a line. The second point is moved to lie symmetrically to the first point with respect to the selected line.
