I need to use symmetry path a lot in my work and I'm working with huge documents. I'm always frustrated beyond time and space that it's ALWAYS appears somehwere THERE where I cannot see it. I need to make new concept in another place of the doc so I need it to follow my "viewport". Could you do this please? You already have "use last symmetry" why don't you give "place symmetry in a middle of the screen" option (or make it as default)? This would GREATLY reduces my time and frustration with this tool.

I admit it's not a time saver, but perhaps it could be scripted.

And instead of pressing twice I need ot click on pen, draw the line where I want and then clicking on it and pcik the option to make it a symmetrical tool? How is this better/faster than clicking once on symmetrycal tool, zoom out and and then drag it to the place I want? I want to reduce steps in my work not increase them.

You could use the Pen tool to make a path at your desired location, and use Selected Path.
