Problem with symmetry

Hello colleagues
My problem is measuring symmetry, at the moment my A_A axis is a line of midpoints at 3.45 (point J) and 21.8 (point H). This is the center of the coordinate system x=0
I built planes from two opposite sides, created a set of them and measured the symmetry, but I got very strong deviations, although the x of this plane is not so bad.
I'm afraid it's an alignment issue, as the part itself is much more complex than what I've shown, but I hope I'm just not measuring the symmetry correctly.

  • Hi Vladimir, when you create two lines to make mid line to find symmetry mid line will have vector same as your last line selected from two lines. All should be in 3D. Then you have to make your reference line in 3D and then change its vector to what mid line is having (the one you want to find symmetry). Then, you should be able to find symmetry in Datum feature plane. It would have definitely worked.
