Why Am i have having trouble mirroring
(OP)
Im creating a basic sketch of a parrallelogram, but everytime i try to mirror it over a centerline it aint working. I want to mirror it in the front plane.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

a to be mirrored all the way here a
with a centerline in between but it wont do it.
RE: Why Am i have having trouble mirroring
Remember:
You cannot mirror construction geometry (dashed line).
You shouldn't have elements crossing your centerline.
After you select all the sketch segments you want to mirror, CTRL-Select the centerline (dashed line, construction geometry) that you want as your center, then use the mirror function in the Sketch toolbar. It will work.
By definition, your centerline will always be centered between your mirrored geometry.
