  i know better than this!!
  click on constraint icon.
  then click on two lines you want add dimention
  then click right and you could easily choose which type of constraint you want.

     You don't have to give any dimensions... just click an option.. and the whole sketch will get complete dimensions automatically.

     yes,i know.but sometimes you need specific dimention.normally we use constraint icon,not automatic.

     hold the control key right click u'll get the menu
     for eg with reference to the video the user was creating a symmetry to the taper profle by invoking a reference line i.e,hold the control key select the taper lines right click select symmetry option click the reference line.That way you will have the symmetry.BTW that's fast way of doing so which i highly recommend.
