Flip Direction for Right-Click on Contraint

[rcolon9E4ZX]

Can we get a right-click function to negate the gap for contraints. It seems like every time I do a Position Rep and start overriding gap offsets, I always use the wrong sign (+/-). When Right-Clicking on a contraint, an option could say 'Flip Direction'. This could multiply the gap by -1. Simply -1 ul * (original formula). This could also work with joints. This would greatly decrease the time of adjusting dozens of overrides.

I could see this being useful, but a lot would depend on how it's implemented.  The flip function would need the ability to remove the multiplier, not just keep adding them and building up something like (-1 ul) * (-1 ul) * (-1 ul) * 1in.

Basically, I don't want to have to count negative signs to figure out why a constraint is doing something unexpected.  I could easily see some users stacking up negatives by "flipping" multiple times, if that were how it worked.  I don't really want triple negatives in my parameters . . .

@jtylerbc ,

That is a good point. I agree 100%. It was my original thought that the negation could be removed also. It would be easy to detect a "*(-1)" or "(-1)*" after trimming the spaces in the formula. If found, one of these could be removed.

Or, it could more simply be such that the removal only occurs if the function starts with "(-1)*(" and ends with ")". Basically, undoing the added negate function.
