14.3. -Add a sketch in the new plane and draw the following profile. Make sure it's

symmetrical about the centerline. All arcs are equal radii. The top dimension's

value is entered as 1.5 *pi, since we want the sketch to wrap completely around

the cylinder. After entering the equation in the "Modify" box the resulting value will

be automatically calculated. Switch to a Top view for clarity.

A powerful and time efficient tool to make a sketch symmetrical as we draw

it is the "Dynamic Mirror" command, located in the menu "Tools, Sketch Tools,

Dynamic Mirror." First, we need to draw and optionally pre-select a centerline (or

pre-select any linear sketch line or linear model edge), and then turn the "Dynamic

Mirror" command On. To know if the Dynamic Mirror command is active,

SOLIDWORKS will add an equal (=) sign at both ends of the mirror centerline.

While the dynamic mirror is active, everything we draw on either side of the mirror

line will be automatically duplicated on the other side, and at the same time

Symmetric geometric relations will be added.

If a line/edge is not pre-selected, we'll be asked to select one.
