Is there a way to flip a symbol?
JulianDracos

In some styles, symbols have a direction like facing east. However, there is not a corresponding one for the opposite direction. What I have done is export the symbol, open it up in GIMP, flip the image, save it, and then use that symbols in CC3+. I would prefer not to do this.
The only tool I have found is rotate, but that won't work. Am I stuck creating my own symbol sets when this occurs, or is there a flip?

Right click when placing to bring up the symbol parameters dialog and select mirror.

While the symbol is on your crosshair right click in the map and a dialog will open. You can click to mirror the symbol there.

Great, that works and should speed some things along.
Some symbols are fitted with a shadow as part of the symbol, so be aware that this can make them look weird in comparison with symbols that haven't been mirrored though.
