Flipping objects
You can flip objects horizontally, vertically, and both horizontally
and vertically, with the Flip commands in the Effects menu. You can
flip individual objects, multiple selected objects, or grouped objects.
When you flip a group object, objects included in the group flip
around the axes of the groups bounding box.
To flip a selected object from top to bottom: Choose
Effects > Flip > Vertical. The Vertical command flips the selections
vertical coordinates over its horizontal axis.
To flip a selected object from left to right: Choose Effects >
Flip > Horizontal. The Horizontal command flips the selections hor-
izontal coordinates over its vertical axis.
To flip a selection around both axes: Choose Effects > Flip >
Both Axes. Canvas flips the selections horizontal coordinates over
its vertical axis and its vertical coordinates over its horizontal axis.
Scaling objects
The Scale command in the Object menu provides several options for
enlarging or reducing objects. You can scale by a percentage or ratio,
