So I had completed a project for a client - floor plans, foundations, floor framing, roof layout, etc. - and now they are asking me to flip it side to side.  I tried the Move > Mirror function, but that only works for the active tab.  Is there a way to do this without reinventing the wheel, or am I going to have to redraw the project?

 

Thank you!

I typically move/reverse each page - don't use the mirror command.

 

Go to Options/Visible Items and select the "Display Everything" button.

 

Move/Reverse and select everything using the mouse to draw a box around all the items

 

Pick the direction you want to flip the drawings.

 

Repeat for each drawing. 

 

You may have to repair a few items such as roofs and ceilings.

 

If you are using casement windows remember that they will not reverse operators. Check you exterior doors for the correct Product Codes. Symbols that have "handing because they will reverse visually you will need to update the symbol if your product name refer to handing like tubs. So if you originally had a Maax TSEA LEFT the reversed drawing will visually show as a right hand tub but the label would still show the left hand tub.

 

Don't forget to turn off the "Display Everything" for all pages

Reverse is the way to go. A little clean up will be needed to notes, etc.

I use Reverse also and put a check mark to reverse drawings in Model. Then you'll have to reverse all of the Drawing that are not in the Model as Martin does.

Awesome thank you guys.  I didn't even notice that reverse button right next to the mirror button!  Exactly what I was looking for!

Doors with sidelights don’t reverse. Check them you don’t want to have LH door where there’s supposed to be a RH

I'll just add to what Martin said, make sure all of your layers are turned on too.
