Polar stretch - flip issue

[MRupnik]

Hi every one.
After some hard work I succesfully create a polar stretch combined with multiple actions (rotation, stretch), but now, when I try to insert also a flip I can't make it working. I would kindly ask for some help, advice.
P.S.: Before I insert polar stretch, flip was working as it should be, so every other action works as it should.

First, I would simplify the block a little (see attachment). But that's only my personal opinion. 

Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution on how to add a flip action either.
Maybe you get what you want by creating two visibility states instead of the flip action(?)

The reason I’d prefer to use the Flip option is due to the multiple visibility states involved. The example I attached is just one of many, and I’d like to avoid creating even more visibility states if possible. I’ll keep experimenting and will share the results if I manage to make it work.

P.S.: It’s true that this could be done using constraints, but fully constraining everything is impractical. And if constraints aren’t fully applied, AutoCAD doesn’t retain them when saving the block.

Chained actions cannot be included in flip actions. This means that the actions "Distance1 and Position3" must be removed from the flip selection set.
Unfortunately, the structure of your block is somewhat complicated, so that even if you set the flip action correctly, it can no longer be manipulated once flipped, leading to errors. The alignment must always be done first, followed by the flip.
Perhaps it would be easier to mirror the block in the model.

An interesting fact. I was not aware of this until now. Thanks for this information.

It is probably better to say that they do not need to be included in flip actions because they automatically move along through the chaining.

Thank you.
I also wasn't aware of flip-chain action incompatibility. It's good to know to avoid that pair in future projects.

I've made some progress and I have a feeling that just one final step is missing. But unfortunately I can't figure it out by myself, so I'm asking for help. I attach file to show the principle and approach I took. Somehow, same approach doesn't work for both sides of polar distance/polar stretch.
