Flipping a Component in Free Space

This task shows you how to flip a component that is in free space.
When a component flips in free space it rotates 180-degrees on the vertical or horizontal axis. The axis on which it will rotate is the X or Y axis as laid out when the component graphic was originally created. In the image below the component graphic was originally created with the Y axis running through the center and the X axis at the base. In the second image the Flip Horizontal command was used to flip it on the Y axis. In the last image the Flip Vertical command was used to make it flip on the X axis.

  1. Click the Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical button.

    • Flip Horizontal will flip the component on its vertical axis
    • Flip Vertical will flip the component on its horizontal axis.

  2. Click the component you want to flip.
    It will be flipped.
