trouble with orgins while flipping a part

[walker_theron]

Here is the situation I have; I'm trying to flip a part 3 times. op1 is the main body of the part. op2 is flipping the part 180 and facing off the hat and machining my fillets both op2 and op1 are good with origin. when I try to go to my op3 this consists of the rotating the part on its side 90 degrees so I can pop 2 holes in the part, I can't get the origin to do what I need it to do in the work coordinate system, I can't set my y axis vertical only horizontal, I know the origin relates to the original origin when it was drawn. is there any way to add another origin that doesn't correspond to the original or make it so I can freely use the WCS without corresponding to the original drawing origin, any help would be appreciated.

Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

thank you for that info as I wasn't sure how to upload it, here is the fd3 file.

You did not specify which way the X or Z axis should be so I guessed.  Y axis is up and on the model origin.  Please check behind me.  Model is attached.

sorry about that, yes, the y axis needed to be vertical, and x needs to flipped 180 pointing to the back of the back of the part. were you just able to go through and select the edge lines to set the axis? I think I was clicking in the wrong reference line for what I was trying to do.

I used the what is shown in the screen capture below.  I have flipped the X axis but again, I have no idea what the back of the part is.  The model as shown is attached.  One of the biggest issue I face in trying to answer most any of the Forum questions is the guessing what the OP is really thinking but not writing in their question.  Hope this helps you get to your result.
