Hi everyone,
I’m new to Seamly and can’t figure out how to duplicate and mirror pieces. I have half of a front part done that I want to flip and mirror (ideally combine, but I’m fine doing that with scissors and tape if that’s not possible yet), but I can’t figure out how to do either. Any help/suggestions would be great

Currently we don’t have the option to copy or mirror “pattern pieces”. I’m working on being able to do that, but been tricky to figure out.
In the meantime however, you can use the Operations mirror tool(s) in Draft mode to create a mirror image of a group of points and / or curves.
Here’s a simple Mirror example. Lets say we want to mirror points A, A1, and A2… using the Mirror by Axis , selcting points A, A1, and A2 (while holding the Ctrl key), then selecting point A4 as the point for a Vertical Axis we get:
Those 3 points now are mirrored with a suffix of “_a1”. You are free to chage the suffix. One caveat with the Operations tools… be careful when selecting your group of points and curves as we currenly have no way to edit the group once the tool is created. If you miss something, you’ll have to delete the tool and try again. Check and make sure all the objects you want show the bounding box around them… like:
Once your objects are mirrored, you can now select the Add Piece tool
as usual, and select the mirrored points to create a mirrored pattern piece.
