Symmetry Constraint and Mirror tool

- [Instructor] Okay next I want to make both these circles have the same distance from the edges here, so I want them to be in a position to have a symmetrical relationship, so we're going to use the symmetry constraint here in our sketch pallet. Now the way the symmetry constraint works is you have to select both items that you want to be symmetric and then you need to select which line you want them to be symmetric about. So, we're going to first draw a line to give it a reference. Now what I like to do is I like to draw a line outside of my, sort of work area outside of my sketch cause I don't like to get it too cluttered, so we're going to hit "L" for a line and I'm just going to draw a line up here and I'm going to make sure that that line is vertical so, here I have this perpendicular constraint, or you may see that it makes out a vertical constraint, either one is fine. I'm going to select that line and click "X" to make it a construction line, then I'm going to grab my…
