Reverse Direction

Click on a single polygon, single polyline, group of polygons, or group of polylines to select them. Click the Draw | Reverse Direction command. The order of points in the selected polylines and polygons are reversed. Objects converted in this way appear the same on the screen. The direction of the objects are listed as Reverse (counterclockwise) and Forward (clockwise) in the Data Manager's Direction column.

 

Note: This command does not work with complex polygons. To reverse a single polygon in a complex polygon, first click the Draw | Split Islands/Lakes, reverse the desired polygons by clicking the Draw | Reverse Direction command, and click the Draw | Combine Islands/Lakes command to recombine the polygons.
