I have a 1/2 circle on one side of my layout. I want to flip, cut, and paste it to the other side. How can I do this or do I just need to build the other side?

It's almost as you wrote it....

Select everything that you want to copy (select a Section; or a Stretch from the menu; or use the mouse to select an area; or select the first piece of track, press shift and select the last piece)
Copy
Paste
While the pasted track is selected you can simply select the Flip option (right-click to see the options).
Then just drag the new section to join it up as needed.

Usefully, AnyRail also flips turnouts and other structures, changing their part numbers as it does so, so you can also do this with more complex track sections.
