REVERSE (Command)

Reverses the vertices of selected lines, polylines, splines, and helixes, which is useful for linetypes with included text, or wide polylines with differing beginning and ending widths.

Access Methods

Tool Sets: Drafting tab > Modify panel > Reverse.

Note: Hidden by default. Click to display the icon on the tool set panel.

Vertices of selected objects are reversed.

For example, when a linetype with text is specified with relative rotation in a LIN file, the text in the linetype might be displayed upside down. Reversing the vertices of the object changes the orientation of the text.

The REVERSE command does not change the orientation of text where rotation is specified as upright.

Note: Use the PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS system variable to control the direction of the polyline and appearance of polyline segments when reversed.
