@3:37 the Line to arc trick is awesome. All of these are awesome. Thank you. Yes, this is a necro=post but I just jumped shipped to Solidworks. :) And the dbl middle mouse click just saved me from going bald (me pulling out my hair)
Symmetry (the relation that creates a Mirroring effect) in Sketching requires the selection of a CENTER LINE and 2 other, like entities, for the option to appear. The Centerline font is the key, as this is reference geometry that is used for relations but does not participate in the Sketch Contour itself. In the video, we are using the CTRL key to do a Windows Multi Pick. It works best if you DO NOT hold the CTRL key when you select the FIRST item in your selection set, as this will ‘clear out’ any other things you may have selected. Once you’ve selected the first entity, hold CTRL on the keyboard and continue to select 2 Lines…… With 2 Lines and a Centerline selected, the SYMMETRY relation is available.
Really helpful, thanks
Cool! Thanks
Finally someone that is clear to understand and does not rip through the session. Thank you

Thank you! I know this is a year old but really thank you, this answered everything i needed to know to finish my project
I use the scroll wheel to move around the sketch by rocking it back and forth with the cursor toward the direction I want to go.
Excellent presentation, really helped pickup some great trips
Thank you for watching, Susan.
Excellent video; worth watching, Very clear explanations. Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you. Be sure to subscribe for more great 3D CAD Design and 3D printing tutorials.
Another tip:
options->sketch->check "auto-rotate view normal to sketch plane on sketch creation"
This is so helpful. Thank you!!
We are so happy to be able to help. Thank you for watching.
5:48 , to avoid loosing tangent, use co incident relation between arc centre and the dashed line :))
