            @VectorStyler Now I feel less bad I haven't been able to send much of anything for bugs since you're already working on 1.3. I'm still making adjustments after fully dropping Affinity.

              This will be a great tool for creating repeating patterns and pattern brushes

                Whether strokes, brushes, and shapes are mirrored live while drawing

                This will be on for anything drawn inside the symmetry group.

                Optional merging or joining at the symmetry axis

                Not clear how this would work. Would it connect paths automatically?

                  @VectorStyler Can he add and draw new figures in this graph with real-time mirroring effect

                    Yes, just like in any isolated group

                      CorelDRAW has had a Symmetry feature since version 2021 that allows you to fusion
                      open curves. It also allows for multiple symmetries with different repetitions.

                      Here a Video CorelDraw Symmetry
                      .
                      .

                      I'm particularly excited about the "Black Ink" fusion feature.
                      Since it's a bitmap/raster graphics app, such a feature might be easier to implement.

                      Here a Video "Black Ink" fusion in Symmetry

                      However, it would be great to have a vector graphics app that could do this.

                      Btw: I can recommend anyone interested in pattern making to take a look at Black Ink.
                      It connects layers using nodes and thus offers a very flexible way to create your
                      own symmetries.
                      .
                      .

                      I have two questions about the Symmetry feature.

                      Would it be possible to add symmetry per layer?
                      So that you could have a different repetition for each layer?

                      Can bitmaps also be repeated using this Symmetry feature?
