.. _auto_curve_make_symmetric:

*CURVE MAKE SYMMETRIC*
======================

Reflects a curve about the origin to produce a symmetric (odd-symmetric) version, mirroring the positive-side data through the point (0, 0). Use this worker when a material or load curve must be made symmetric for use in sign-reversible scenarios such as tension/compression material definitions.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

     - Input XY curve (vector) to be made symmetric about the origin (0, 0); the worker mirrors the existing data through the origin to produce an odd-symmetric result. Optional — leave unconnected if no curve is available yet.
