Figure 7-29. Using geometric constraints and dimensions to fully define a sketch. A—All of the sketch geometry is
displayed in black to indicate that the sketch is fully defined. The sketch geometry is fully constrained and cannot
freely move. B—The sketch after mirroring. Notice that geometric relationships are maintained. The geometric
constraints are hidden for display purposes only.
