Flip axis of URDF?

I have a right hand URDF model for a particular robot hand and I would like to convert it to a left hand model. I'm wondering what the most straightforward way of doing this is? It is a reasonably complex model and so not trivial to change by hand and would prefer to avoid this method if possible.

There is no magic switch for this. URDF assumes a right-handed coordinate system I believe. REP-103 also states that a right-handed system is the default chirality of ROS.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you though: do you want to mirror a model, or really change the chirality (as far as that makes sense for a model)?
