Point Pairs

By default, pairs are symmetric, and the left side is the master. For symmetric pairs, only the master side can be edited and changes are automatically made to the corresponding side. Click on the Left and Right tabs to switch between the left and right coordinate.

The Symmetric properties check box on the Properties tab allows you to turn symmetry on or off. When symmetry is turned off, both sides can be edited separately. When you turn on symmetry, you are prompted to select a master side.
