Use the flip horizontally, or flip vertically tool, (make sure your drawing is grouped or only on one layer), on the tools menu to the right. It is the one with a symbol that looks like a double headed arrow.

Do you mean flip as in a mirror image flip?

There would be 2 ways to do this:

1) select all the points and use the "flip horizontal" point tool

2) use the flip horizontal layer tool or property.

If you flip the points and the drawing is on several different layers it's hard to keep them lined up since the flip is based on the center of the group of points.

If you flip the layers it is easier since you can set the origin point of each layer to the same spot.
