Specifies the elements you want to mirror and copy. You specify the element type you want to mirror using the Select option on the command bar.

Defines the plane about which the copy will be mirrored.

This button changes function as you move through the feature construction process. The Finish button constructs the feature using input provided in the other steps. Once you construct the feature, you can edit it by re-selecting the appropriate step on the command bar. The Cancel button discards any input and exits the command.

Specifies the element type you want to mirror and copy.

• Single--Allows you to select one or more individual elements.

• Chain--Allows you to select a endpoint connected set of elements by selecting one of the elements in the chain.

• Body--Allows you to select the following types of bodies:

  • Curve bodies, such as a keypoint curve.

  • Surface bodies, such as a surface body.

  • Design body, which is the entire solid model.

Clears the selection.

Accepts the selected elements.

Sets the method of defining the reference plane. Depending on the model you are constructing, some of the options listed may not be available.

• Coincident Plane--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is coincident to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.

• Parallel Plane--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is parallel to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, you can specify the parallel offset distance. When you set this option, a default X-axis and direction is applied to the new reference plane. You can use keyboard accelerators to define a different X-axis and direction for the new reference plane.

• Angled Plane--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is at an angle to an existing reference plane or planar face on the part. When you set this option, you can specify the angle value you want.

• Perpendicular Plane--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is perpendicular to an existing reference plane or planar face on the part.

• Coincident Plane By Axis--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is coincident to an existing reference plane or a planar face on the part. When you set this option, you define the X-axis and direction for the new reference plane using a linear edge, a planar face, or another reference plane.

• Plane Normal to Curve--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is perpendicular to a curve you select. This is the default option when constructing a helix using the Perpendicular option.

• Plane By 3 Points--Specifies that you want to define a plane by three keypoints you select.

• Feature's Plane--Specifies that you want to define a plane that is coincident to a reference plane used to define an earlier feature. You can select the feature you want using PathFinder or in the graphics window. This option is not available when constructing the base feature.

• Last Plane--Automatically selects the reference plane used for the previous feature. This option is not available if the last feature was a pattern or when constructing the base feature.

Sets the type of keypoint you can select to define a feature extent or to position a new reference plane. This allows you to define the feature extent or the location of the reference plane using a keypoint on other existing geometry. The available keypoint options are specific to the command and workflow you use.

Displays the feature name. Feature names are assigned automatically. You can edit the name by typing a new name in the box on the command bar or by selecting the feature and using the Rename command on the shortcut menu.
