missing tool in 2010

[ray.205827]

I have recently read a post somewhere (not sure if it was on here or in one of the gazillion blogs I follow religiously) about how to find missing tools in 2010, but I cannot find it now. I've done a search in here but didn't find anything - I confess I'm not much good with the search function - keep getting a message about less than 3 characters or words or something. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, does anyone know where the flip control tool is hiding now? I just did the 2009 version line based detail component make a parametric arrow family tutorial in the new AECEDGE magazine and I want to finish it.

Update
There must be an architectural service pack, because this issue has been fixed in MEP 2010.

Yo Ray,

RAC 2010 original web release and the factory DVD release, and Revit WU-1. did not have the flip controls in the Family Editor. The tool had been removed accidentally I think, however the flip control tool, was put back into the Family Editor, in Web Update 2.
so all you have to do is install WU-2 to get the control tool back however, since the SP3 file is a cumulative release, everything to date is in that file (other than things like the DB Link tool etc. , which you can find on the subscription site.

There is a SP3 release? Wasn't there just a SP2 very recently?

There was a Web Update 1 (WU1, SP1, whatever), Web Update 2, and then last week a Subscription Advantage Pack. Some people have been referring to this as SP3. I'm not sure if this is available to everyone or not, but I know it adds some features only for people on Subscription. It also changes some of the tool buttons on some of the ribbons and fixes a few issues.

I just with Autodesk would decide on an update term for between-release updates/service packs/patches/whatever and stick to it. Seems like for 2008 there were Web Updates, then for 2009 they changed to Service Packs, now for 2010 they're back to Web Updates again. :roll:

The Subscription Pack is SP2 along with some new functionality

You mean it integrates Web Update 2 with some new functions?

When it installs it puts the old content into a folder called SP3 under your library.

It includes SP1 and SP2 and will be Re Released in UK and Europe at the end of November
