In some drawing standards, when drawing a building or object that is in complete symmetry, the designer may draw only half of the model and insert a symmetry label to indicate the symmetry line.
To insert a symmetry label:
1. Click the Symmetry Label tool from the Dims/Notes tool set.
2. In a 2D view, click on the drawing at the desired location to place the symmetry label.
3. Click to set the length and rotation of the label.
Symmetry label objects are specified and drawn in page scale; they draw to the same apparent size, regardless of the layer scale. If the layer the symmetry label object is on is re-scaled, or the symmetry label object is cut and pasted between layers of different scales, the symmetry label object automatically re-scales.
The symmetry label’s pen color, line weight, and line style can be changed in the Attributes palette.
