A can have symmetry added to it using the Path Symmetry submenu. This provides the following menu items:
If you later decide to remove the symmetry, deselect Path Symmetry->Has Symmetry.
Adding symmetry to a closed shape may cause unexpected
results as the shape will be first opened (without removing the
last segment), the symmetry will be added, and then the symmetric
shape will be closed, merging the end points.
Note that this function places a gap (move) segment between the end control and its symmetric counterpart. This can be changed to a line or curve, using Convert To Line or Convert To Curve, as described in Editing Control Points. In Figure 8.7(e), the join has been changed to a curve. Unlike the Bézier curves in the non-symmetric paths, this curve only has one curvature control.
