    There isn’t anything like that. It’s actually kind of tricky, because “opposite” means different things for different properties, and can even have multiple meanings for the same property. Position, for example, needs a reference, which can be a specific point (center of the comp maybe), or the reference layer’s starting position at time=0.

    Similarly, for Scale, opposite might mean s2 = -s1, or it might mean s2 = [100-s1[0],100-s1[1]].

    I see! Well, thanks for shining the light on this. I’ve been searching for a “one tool fixes all” type of command and now I know it doesn’t exist. Bummer! I wished they would develop something like that does the inverse or opposite of another command its parented to. Thanks Dan!
