When digitizing node by node, is there a way in the program to "autocomplete" the object by symetrically duplicating the nodes that have already been set as a mirror image? Example - set nodes for one half of a heart shape and have the program complete the heart by duplicating the set nodes in a mirror image. This would be so helpful in digitizing items that need to be symetrical. I do this in Embird all the time. Thanks, Dana

Dana,
When using your area tool, when you get to the "halfway" point, right click and choose "close w/ mirror shape" then hit enter and the other half of the shape will be completed!

To add to what Ian said, the mirroring tool for digitizing works in closed shapes only, mainly Paths and Areas. The Column tool is not a closed shape, so it won´t work there.
