Good morning I am trying to carve some detail on a bread knife handle and want to mirror it on both sides of my material. How do I get it to match up from side A to side B.
Thank you
Does:
help?
If not, upload your file and a photo/sketch of your setup/difficulty?

I am not sure you can see this but if you can I want to get the detail on both sides of this bread knife.
thanks for the help
The way I would do this is:
First, draw a rectangle the height and width of the Stock
and drag it into registration w/ the origin:
Go into Job Setup:
and double the size of the Stock vertically:
and change the origin to Center-Left:
Move the original to the top, so that it may be cut as before:
Then copy-paste/duplicate to get a copy:
and drag it into registration:
Then Mirror it Vertically:
Duplicate the toolpaths into a New Toolpath Group:
Renaming each appropriately:
Then duplicate the toolpath:
and re-assign the Vectors associated w/ each toolpath, create toolpaths to cut out each half of the design, &c. (this is left as an exercise for the reader)
