Hello all.
Wishing all my Cad Brothers and Sisters a joyous Holiday Season and beyond.
Can someone tell me why I should get this nasty unsolveable when attempting to mirror
a fully defined sketch? Is there a way to resolve the situation, or maybe I should say is
there a way to abstain from getting in this predicament in the first place?
Thank you…

For mirror in sketch ude Centerline, second for conflicts in sketch use tools /dimensions /fully define sketch play there and eliminate the problems.

One thing I have found is that sometimes deleting a few measurements and re-doing them can help. Keep in mind that measuring from a end point vs measuring from a line actually are considered two different types of measurement. If you measure from a line it is a perpendicular (always) from the line to the measuring point or other line. From point to point even if it is perpendicular to start it can morph to a non perpendicular state causing issues…
I feel a new video coming on. This is a bit weird to explain with words…

If Ben allow me I have something similar to complete and is a rule in other software 3D, ProE, when you add dimensions it is a good practice to set the dimensions first, surface to surface or plane to plane, plane to surface, plane or surface to line, line to point, the last one point to point I think we can apply this in SW too.For sketch the same rule line or other geometry arc, are more stabile than a point.

Hey Ben, your world class videos have removed the “weirdness” out of a lot of questions for many of us over the years.
