: How to copy an object to the exact same position across a guide? I want to create a steering wheel, similiar to this: So I have started with the outer circle and given it a wide stroke,

Select the oval with the Move tool (V).
Choose the Reflect tool (O, might be hidden under the
Rotate tool in the toolbox).
Press and hold Left Alt to have three dots show up with
your reflect cursor.
While still holding, click your vertical axis/guide. Enabling Smart
Guides (Control/Option+U or View > Smart
Guides) may help getting your click location exactly right.
In the dialog that pops up, choose Vertical for the axis and click
Copy rather than OK.

Lock everything except the oval you want to move.

Draw a box on the right-hand side which aligns to your three guides.

Group the box and the oval.

Flip a copy of it vertically (I think — I always screw up the axis) so that the left side of the square, the one along the center axis, stays on the center guide going through the center of the steering wheel.

Ungroup both boxes and ovals and delete the guide boxes.
