Draw symmetrically in Dottie on Mac

Symmetry mirrors every mark you make across the centre of the canvas—draw half a face and get the whole thing.

Choose a mode from Tools > Symmetry:

ModeMirrors
Off

No mirroring.

Horizontal

Left ↔ right, across the vertical centre line.

Vertical

Top ↕ bottom, across the horizontal centre line.

Both

Four-way: horizontal, vertical, and both together.

Symmetry applies to the Pencil, Pen, Airbrush, Eraser, Colour Shift, Clone, Line, Rectangle, Oval, and all Fill variants (including gradient fills). The Smudge tool is the one drawing tool that doesn’t mirror.
