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.
To mirror a sketch, the centreline needs to be in the same sketch.

Make sure you're picking all your sketch segments you want to mirror.
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.

If you can re-make the sketch, it's better to sketch the centerline, then activate mirroring and draw the sketch "directly mirrored". In that way the program automatically resolves potential mistakes such as centerline-crossing (it will prompt you), and you can add dimensions and constraints in watever part of the sketch, no matter "left" or "right" (of course, the symmetry is implicit, so be careful not to over-constrain your sketch...)
