Servo Inversion?

Is it possible to invert the servo in the servo profile.servo file of ARC?. Something like SetServo (d15, invert). I've searched and all I can find are doing it in a control. But I'd like to do it in the profile or init. Some example code or point me to where to look for more info cause I'm not finding it on my own. Thanks
