Mirror changes in curve objects
When you mirror changes in curve objects by using Reflect Nodes mode, you edit nodes and have the same edits take place in reverse on corresponding nodes. For example, you can move a node to the right, and its corresponding node moves the same distance to the left. This feature is useful when you want to shape a curve object and mirror the changes across the object’s left and right side or top and bottom side.
To mirror changes, you must select two curve objects one of which was created by mirroring the other, or a symmetrical object. For information about mirroring objects, see Rotate and mirror objects. Next, you need to choose whether to mirror changes horizontally (along a vertical line of symmetry) or vertically (along a horizontal line of symmetry). Finally, you need to select the appropriate corresponding nodes so that editing changes are mirrored across the selected objects.
Left: Two corresponding nodes are selected in mirrored curve objects. Right: When the blue control handles are moved, the change is reflected in the corresponding control handles (in red).

— lets you edit corresponding nodes in objects that have been mirrored horizontally
— lets you edit corresponding nodes in objects that have been mirrored vertically
To shape multiple objects by using Reflect Nodes mode, click the first object, and drag to select nodes; or hold down Shift, and click each node on the first object. Then hold down Shift, click the second object, and drag to select nodes, or hold down Shift and click each node on the second object.
