Usage

For example, to mirror a spline horizontally:

  • select the Mirror Tool, either by clicking in the Toolbox or hitting Alt+m

  • check Horizontal in the Tool Options Panel

  • select the Spline Layer

  • select all handles in the spline by hitting Ctrl+a

  • drag one of the selected handles a little

As soon as you start dragging, the handles will all flip about a vertical axis passing through the duck you’re dragging. You will be able to drag the handles around, but the motion will be constrained to only move left and right.
