Modify-Rotate-Flip works oddly

[Travis]

On a Design Layer I select a 2D object and trigger the 'Flip Horiz' or 'Flip Vert'. The object (usually a 2D shape, often inside an extrude) flips, but based on some global centerpoint that I can't seem to decipher. It's not always the Layer centerpoint. My recollection is the object would flip on its own center in previous versions.

I'm kinda tired of hunting for the suddenly-transported object with Select All then Show All then drag it back where it belongs.

 

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Please post a sample file so that the collective can take a look.

According to the Vw2026 Help file, both Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical should both flip on its center.

That's exactly what I expect to happen. But it doesn't. I'll post a file.

This is a VW25 file. Opening it should land on the Guides design layer. Pick a 2D object and Flip Horizontal. For me, it flips but is relocated about 52' to the left.

I'll be very interested if it works differently for someone else!

I am seeing strange behavior in 2026.  No idea of what it is other than possibly the 3D Plane the object is on.

 

In Top/Plan, Top, Front it flips as the help says around the center of the object.

 

In Back, Left, Right it flips as if the bounding box is far bigger than shown on screen.

This has been happening for many months or maybe years. I think I might have a JIRA entry on it, but at the moment when I try to log in I keep getting a message saying "Your verification code has expired" 🤷‍♂️

Andy: Agree with this happening, at least back thru VW24. I just tested on a couple of old files.

Pat: I hadn't picked up on the it works correctly here, but not here. This is at least somewhat helpful for our workflow. Hopefully for the bug-squashing crew as well.

 

Thanks all.

If you haven’t already, you should report this as a bug — especially if it has been around since Vw2024.

I've never used this keyboard shortcut before but I'm curious as to how the same short cut flips both horizontally and vertically 🤣. I think maybe the Help also needs updating.

I'm working in 2025 SP4 on a clean fresh file and I'm getting this behavior.  Any 2d geometry that I flip Horizontally or Vertically, jumps across the document on some centerpoint I can't understand and certainly not on itself.  in Top/Plan all seems fine, but when I am in a 3D plane and working in a right or front view, I get the jump.  Simple file attached.
