Flipping Predrawn Figures

Available from the Preference "Figure" tab

Drawing coordinates for pre-drawn figures are stored in 

a Figure file, rather than in the plan file. The plan file 

just stores which figure to use and it's size, rotation, 

and location. 

"Flipping" the coordinates would alter all instances of 

that figure. 

The default solution is to rotate the figure 180 

degrees. That's the default, but sometimes this isn't 

what you want to see. 

The foolproof solution is to "Expand" the figure into 

individual drawing elements that can be flipped. 

There is a setting on the "Figure" tab of the 

Preferences screen. You can choose: 

   Expand each figure when inserted 

   Expand a figure before it is "flipped" 

   Never automatically Expand figures 

   Ask before flipping a figure 

"Never automatically Expand figures" is the default.
