Electrical – Altium – create a mirror image of a board

altiumlayout

I want to create an identical motor drive board in the right and left sides. I just finished layout for the right side and I am wondering what is the easiest way to create the mirror image of this board for the left side?

For example: the connectors on the "top" side would now be on the bottom of the other board. All components and tracks will also switch sides, layer stack will be inverted, etc. Is there any command sequence in Altium that will do this without me having to manually re-assign everything to the other layer?

No, you can't do that. While the general layout is conceptually "mirrorable" at a high level, many of the individual components are not. You'll have to lay out a mirror image board as a separate project.
