Create a mirror image with the Reflect tool

The Reflect tool offers a way to create a mirror copy of a selected object. Rather than drawing the second eye, you'll use the Reflect tool to create it from the eye you've already drawn.

1

Verify that the eye is selected and choose Edit > Duplicate.

2

With the copy of the eye selected, choose the Reflect tool from the Tools panel, and then click the copy of the eye.

3

Use the Pointer tool to drag the mirror copy of the eye into position over the eye on the background art.

4

With the Pointer tool, click anywhere on the page, away from the eyes so that the eyes are not selected.

Note: As you complete the tutorial, remember to save your work frequently.
