Flip wall reference line

Anonymous

Ok, we have a new command in AC17 - "flip wall reference line"

Is there a shortcut, or any way to attach custom one to that command?
Can't find that command in "Work Environment"

It's called "Change Flip Status" in the Work Environment, and the current shortcut is set to "P".

This flip shortcut is used to flip Walls, Shells or Openings.

Thanks, especially for the shortcut

Is there a shortcut for the opposite - to flip reference line on wall?
I notice that I often need to keep the walls in place but have reference lines that need to be corrected or made to be consistent.
There is an option to [mirror wall in place], but this requires two steps [modify wall reference line] + [mirror wall in place]

No direct shortcut that I can see but in "Modify wall reference line" (which you can set up a shortcut too) you want to choose the option for "Edit reference line location" and then choose either the Inside or Outside.
The wall will stay were it is and just the reference line will move.
