Flip Layer Tool

What it Does

Turns a layer over, either left to right or top to bottom, around a point you choose. A layer is like a sheet of tracing paper that holds part of your drawing, and this tool flips that sheet over.

Use this when you want to reverse a layer that is already drawn, for example a piece that faces the wrong way. Flip changes the layer itself and does not make a copy. If you want to keep the original, use the Mirror Layer Tool.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Flip Layer icon
2. Select the layer to flip from the list, then select Continue
3. Select the direction, then select Continue:
   • Flip over Left to Right
   • Flip over Top to Bottom
4. Select the point the layer flips around, then select Continue
5. The layer is flipped. Select Save to keep it, or Cancel to discard it

info

The point you choose stays where it is. The rest of the layer turns over around it.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the flip is remembered along with the direction and the point you chose.
