Hi Martin,

Not sure if this is a flaw or a "feature". When I swap a template end for end, sure enough it does that but also it swaps the hand of the template, is this what is supposed to happen?

Hi Stephen,

Yes -- it's not a "flaw" or a "feature". It's just the way it was designed. It hasn't changed.

If necessary, do a CTRL+X  template > swap hand after swapping end-for-end.

Or click the L|R button.

See this video:

If swapping end-for-end didn't swap the hand at the same time, it would instead invert the curving radius. Swings or roundabouts?

cheers,

Martin.

OK I'll settle for rotate 180 degrees instead, no need to do anything else.

That's not the same thing, because it destroys the alignment with any adjacent templates.

But you obviously know what you want. :)

Try also CTRL+H  template > mirror left/right hand, which is the Peco version of "hand".

And also geometry > invert curving (no effect on straight templates).

cheers,

Martin.
