Symetry axis for knots

Postby raydiation » Fri Jul 24, 2009 11:34 am

Hi, what i basically try to achieve is that the left part looks exactly symetric to the right part. Its going to be a tab when its done.

I cant find any Options for Symetry Axes though. Any Tipps on how to achieve this?

Do one side. In your case, you'll need to remove one side.

When you're pretty sure you're happy, just duplicate, flip and Path->Union

If you want to experiment further, Clone and Flip. The mirrored clone then updates with the original. You may well still want to do the Union eventually for the sake of fills.
