Question

Can't flip icon in instance swap


Angela Liu

Hi everyone, I created this arrow icon for a dropdown field and noticed I couldn’t flip it (to indicate the dropdown is being expanded).

 

So then I just took the down-arrow, flipped it (I tried transforming by 180 degrees, and also clicking the “flip vertical” button), and created a new component. 

The up-arrow shows in my icon library, but it keeps displaying as a down-arrow in my instances. Would anyone here know what the issue is and how I could fix it? Thank you!

Set the main component to 0° and rotate or flip the nested vector layer inside that component.

@tank666 yeah that was the first thing i tried doing, but the transform section was disabled (see 1st pic) which is why i made the separate icon

The first screenshot shows a component instance, so you can't change some properties. Now look at your second screenshot and do what I wrote above.
