Flip part upside down

I need a quick and easy way to flip part upside down.

In the current product there are multiple steps...

I rotate part 180 degrees on yaxis.
I set Z offset to -20 to pull part up to top side of table.
I adjust Z offset to get bottom of part about 0.5 mm above table top.

Rotate 180 degrees and then press center and arrange. Does't get much easier than that.

I'm not sure why have you to manually adjust those Z-offsets to many times, but that sounds like it's just something specific to your machine, so you will probably always have to make that adjustment manually

Thanks Joe. The Center/Arrange button click greatly simplifies my technique.

I'm new to the 3D printing world but using the "Place Surface on Bed" under Edit is even simpler.

You click on the surface you want on the bed (!) and Simplify 3D does it (V4)!
