Flip objects command not available

[ok comp]

This is a general Hammer question, so beware! I like to perform flip objects using the keyboard commands ctrl + L or ctrl + I, but neither are responsive. When I go to Tools > Flip Objects, Horizontally and Vertically both appear grayed out.

I was using the command successfully last evening and earlier today during the same session. I've attempted it on different brushes, in different map files, restarted hammer, restarted SDK, and restarted Steam and I'm still unable to use those commands. I'm wondering if there is an overriding setting I may have accidentally changed that disables the use of that command? Has anyone else experienced this problem before?

You have to have focus in a 2D view, Hammer isn't smart enuogh to fligure out your camera in 3D view. So click in a 2D view before using it.

Thanks! I feel silly now for not having realized that. I rarely used the command in the past (I'm kicking myself because it's so useful!) so for the past few days I've been getting into the habit of utilizing it with the shortcuts, but I guess I was working out of the 2D viewports and hadn't noticed that it only worked that way until now.

Just make sure you realign your textures properly.
