: In ArcGIS Pro , the "Trace" tool allows you to follow an existing feature but create a new segment at a specific distance on the "other side" of the original line—useful for mapping parallel features like utility lines or sidewalks.

: For 3D printing, designers often create a feature (like a dovetail) on one side and mirror the cut-out on the other side of an interface to ensure parts fit together perfectly. Digital Illustration & Art
