Workaround brushes to move things with the symmetry ruler. Comes in both circle and square shapes.

Clip Studio Paint has a useful symmetry ruler tool to help us make symmetrical drawings. Things like the lasso tool are also compatible with the symmetry ruler as long as you check [Enable Snapping]

But when you use the move tool, it doesn't recognize the established ruler symmetry.

These Symmetry Move Brushes use the pulling mode of mixing brushes to nudge and move parts of an image under the brush.



This is likely one of those tools that you won't use every day, but it'll come in handy when you least expect it.




HOW TO USE
1. Choose the square or circle move brush based on the shape of the thing you want to move
2. Change the size of the brush so the part of your drawing you want to nudge or move is inside the brush shape.
3. This is a puller brush, so press and drag with your pen or mouse until the part you want to move is in the right spot. Then release.

UPDATE: For Vector Layers, you have to use the "Symmetry Move Vector" version of the tool. This is a variant of CSP's Pinch Vector Line tool, which only allows a circle shape.

TIPS
- In case the square or circle brush will intersect too many other parts of the drawing, you can separate them into another layer first:
1. Select it using the lasso tool. Check [Enable Snapping] to make it selects symmetrically.
2. Press CTRL+X, CTRL+V to paste it to a new layer.
3. Use the Symmetry Move Brush you want.
4. You can combine it with the original layer again after using Layer > [Merge with layer below]

- If the brush crosses the ruler axis, it may erase certain parts of one side.



- It works with other types of symmetry rulers. (But I also just wanted to make this gif)

Maybe someday we won't need this tool anymore, but for now, here you go.
