Define a stacking sequence using Paste Symmetric

You can use the right-click → Paste Symmetric command to duplicate the plies currently copied to the clipboard. However, unlike a normal Paste operation, the Paste Symmetric command reverses the order of the copied plies.

The illustration below shows how to define a stacking sequence using Paste Symmetric:

• A through D = Ply Groups created as described in Using Paste.

• E = Child groups 5, 6, 7 and 8In the ply table, use shift-click or control-click to select groups 1 through 4, right-click → Copy then right-click → Paste Symmetric.

• F = Physical representation

• G = Representation in the Ply Sketcher tab
