Is it possible to turn on symmetry  while making a path so that a center of a path is axis of symmmetry ?

Hi.

Yes, it is. Add the new to the object available from 0.92.

Lazur, is it possible to continue the path after adding symmety effect ?

For example, I have used Bezier path with holding Ctrl to make it straight. Then I applied Mirror symmetry. I would now like to continue modeling the path with Bezier spiro tool to keep the mirror on.
How to do that ?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, it is possible doing so.

After you added a mirror symmetry, add a spiro spline path effect, and move it on top of the path effect chain, then
use the pen tool to continue the path from one of its start/end node(s).
