Hi,

Please make “mirror” available while in sketch mode.

I got frustrated there for a bit because I couldn’t find the functionality where I intuitively assumed it to be, and had to consult the manual to find it. It’s neither visible in sketch mode nor when manipulating 3d bodies.

Also, having to leave sketch mode to select the top-level transform menu in order to find mirror seems an unnecessary hassle and breaks the flow.

Thanks!

Hey @toncek,

Thank you for your feedback, we’ll consider it!  
Please check this video about possible workarounds. Command search in sketch mode is only available with keyboard right now, but it will be fixed soon with the new UI.

Thank you, that was helpful. Didn’t know about command search.
