Flip a group of objects in a PCB layout

Flip rotates objects, such as footprints, horizontally about the selected grid point, and places them on the reverse side of a double-sided PCB.

  1. In the Electronics workspace, in the canvas of an open Electronics 2D PCB document, left-click near the objects you wish to flip and drag a box around them to select a group.

  2. On the Design toolbar, click Modify > Flip Flip icon to open the Flip panel.

  3. Optionally, in the Flip panel, adjust the Routes Mode settings as needed.

  4. On your keyboard, press Ctrl then right-click the canvas to open the contextual menu.

    Note: It is important where in the canvas you right-click. The group will flip across the horizontal axis through the next grid point to where you clicked.
  5. In the contextual menu, click Flip: Group to flip the group.

  6. Optionally, click Undo to revert the change and Esc to exit the Flip panel.

  7. Click Done to accept the changes and close the dialog.
