Try playing around with Symbols in Illustrator. You won't get a real-time "drawing here and watching it duplicated there" experience, but you can get easy symmetry.


Draw your base shape that you want to work with. You don't have to outline it, but I find it makes the alignment easier. (It will be easy to change later anyway).


Do whatever rotating & aligning you want. (I'm just making a simple 90° rotated 4-square pattern).


Double-click any instance of your Symbol to "edit the definition". (This is fancy Illustrator-speak for "change the base art")


When you are finished editing a Symbol instance, your changes will be automatically applied to all of the other instances of the same.




This same workflow could be applied to triangles, squares, whatever.
