Mirroring
Creo Elements/Direct allows you to mirror a drawing using 
Mirror.
Mirror.To save time when drawing symmetrical shapes, you can mirror them about a line of symmetry.
On the Modify tab, Mirror is usually used with the Keep check box clicked. The repeat factor is set to 1. Wait until your drawing is nearly complete before mirroring, otherwise you may miss a feature and have to draw it in both halves.
