Changing direction of moving heads

I have a question about my chauvet moving heads. Right now when I move the dot in freestyler, they move opposite each other, which many times is desireable. Sometimes, however I want them moving the same direction. I know there is a setting on the light itself to invert them so that they do the same thing. Is there a way in the moving head section within freestyler to invert them from there while making a sequence?

When making a sequence just move the heads to the position you want and save. There is a way(right click fixture in main window) to invert the pan or tilt but it is a global setting and cannot be changed per sequence

Thanks for the response. That's what I have been doing, but was hoping to be able to invert one and not the other to make positioning them easier.

What about while doing a shape movement? Is there a way to invert one then?

I don't know if there is something I misunderstand here.

If you only select one fixture then it is only that one you invert.
Meaning if you only invert one fixture then you should have that they both moves in the same direction.

Shapes you can flip individually for each fixture so they move syncrone or what you want them to do.

I guess that is what I needed to understand. I was hoping to flip one so that when I move the dot they would both move together and save time vs positioning one then the other, but moving them individually and then saving works. Then if I use a shape, I'll just invert one to synchronize. Thanks for your help!
