Step 2Mirror Cutter Profile
We have found that it is worthwhile to mirror cutter profiles, as the opposite hand orientation is often required to properly create a feature from the sketch. Take this into consideration when creating a sketch for a Catalog Feature, and possibly mirror your sketch.
When creating cutter profiles, it is handy to properly locate and define the axis of rotation so that it can be used to mirror the profile.
After creating the sketch, right click on the line about which the profile will be mirrored and select Convert to Reference Figure to convert the Regular figure to a Reference figure. A valid sketch has to be a SINGLE closed figure, and a Regular line dividing the two mirrored halves will prevent the successful creation of a Feature.
