Once the member is created, you can only align the member. You cannot flip it. It is because flipping can lead to modeling errors and end treatment errors. To flip, you will need to delete the member and recreate it.</P> <P>Many thanks!<BR /><BR /></P> Wed, 09 Oct 2019 21:21:47 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-do-i-flip-the-orientation-of-a-frame-member-once-it-s/m-p/9077403#M165960 johnsonshiue 2019-10-09T21:21:47Z
