reverse order of features?

Hi I want to mirror a bunch of features, but it would be really cool if I could reverse the order of the mirrored features as it would speed up the cycle time so it doesnt have to go all the way to the other side of the part. (i.e. Im programming the bottom half left to right, when I mirror to the top, I would like it to go right to left, not left to right again). Is there a way to do this without using "optimize path" and hoping PCDMIS doesnt mess up clearance moves?

Thanks

    I was talking about the Paste with Pattern Function.

    Thanks for your answer

    So what I ended up doing was program a quarter of it, copy it and mirror "Flip Y" and manually reverse the order of those features. And then I copied what is now half the program and rotated the whole thing 180° about the Z-axis to finish the program (minus the dimensions of course)
