So with the market right now we are having to do a lot of small rural grading jobs to make ends meet. Nevertheless we would like to be able to import gps points for quick and dirty data where it is prudent. I have figured out how to create a custom point import format that transforms the latitude and longitude to the state plane xyz coordinates.
I know this is silly and I should really know the answer to this, but my problem is once i import the points i need to mirror them to get them in the proper orientation. The solution is right on the tip of my tongue but I cannot for the life of me remember what to do. A typical data point is: Lat/Long input (45.65369 Lat, 123.00546 Long, 746.00, bldg)
Any help is much appreciated...

By mirror I suspect you mean it is off in the wrong quadrant.
You might need to reorder that data in your point file format.

Bingo!
The point should have been (45.65369 Lat, -123.00546 Long, 746.00, bldg)

I love Bingo on the first try!
