What is the relationship between C1h and C1v point groups in crystallography?

How to draw the symettry axis for 1-fold rotation ? And why C1v is identical to C1h ?
Thanks

Think about what a 1-fold rotation means!

Oh ! I think 1-fold rotation means no symmetry so there is no axis of semmetry. Is that correct ?

Why the point group C1h is identical to C1v ?
Why the point group C1h with horizontal twofold axis is identical to C2v ?
Thanks
