Can I flip (left to right) all features (sketches, planes, constraints, dim's) in a Parts Studio?

I have a project where I need a left side Parts Studio and a right side Parts Studio. The resulting parts will be built from wood (3D CNC Router) and need to be run as two separate parts.

I have the one side completely modeled (76 Features in total, not including the default geometry I have 21 different planes with their distinct sketches and constraints)

Is it possible to create a flipped copy of ALL FEATURES (left to right)?

    There is no need to replicate the features, just use Mirror / Part to create a handed part.

    I like the idea of this I agree with Neil in that the mirror tool could work. but sometimes if you have a relatively simplistic part/don't want to flip all your features then a mirror flip would be useful. Off the top of my head I think one simple way to do this would be to have a "keep tool" checkbox as you have in the Boolean tool. When unchecked it will just flip all faces of your part instead of giving you an entirely new part that way all your assembly mates will still work. The same thing would go for feature and face mirror.
