Step 3Mirror the Sketch
Mirror the sketch by selecting the Mirror icon to open the Mirror Figure dialog; select the figures to mirror which are the sketch figures for the cutter profile; click in the Mirror axis: box of the Mirror Figure dialog window; and then select the just converted Reference Line for the mirror axis. When the preview correctly shows the mirrored figure, select the OK button on the Mirror Figure dialog to create the mirrored figures.
There will be a number of symmetric constraint icons inserted as they constrain the new figures to the original figures symmetrically about the mirror axis.
It would be prudent to save the part file at this point. Since there is no feature created from this sketch, it will appear to be empty except for the sketch listed in the Design Explorer. You can save the part file under the same name you wish to use for the Catalog Feature as they have different filename suffixes. The Catalog Feature suffix is .AD_PCF, and will be the only files displayed in the dialog to insert a catalog feature.
