You cannot flip a curve or region that has keys locked in the same axis. For example, if a key is locked in time, Flip Y (Value) works but Flip X (Time) does not work.
Flipping Function Curves and Regions
You can flip an fcurve or region of keys on their X (time) or Y (values) axes, thus inverting the animation by time or its values. Flipping transposes the keys across a dividing line determined by the midpoint between the highest and lowest key values on the selected axis.
• Flipping an fcurve flips the entire curve, with the pivot centered on the curve.
• Flipping a region flips the fcurve segment defined in the whole region and not just the keys within it. The pivot is the center of the region. If you flip a region that does not start or end on a key, Softimage creates new keys at the start or end point.
Flipping works by cutting the fcurve or region and then pasting it back. The first and last keys in a region are not affected by this, so to make sure that they are, select these Continuity pasting options in the Fcurve Editor Preferences property editor: Left Key: Use Right Value and Right Key: Use Left Value. See Setting Options for Pasting for more information.

To flip an fcurve or region
1. Select the fcurve or select a region of keys that you want to flip.
2. Choose Curves > Flip Y to invert the values; choose Flip X to invert the time.
