Reverse Direction - Autodesk AUTOCAD LT 2010 Tips And Tricks Manual

Like the Distance tool, the Area and
Volume tools contain options for includ-
ing arc segments in the boundary as well
as straight lines.

Reverse Direction

A new Reverse command enables you to
change the direction of lines, polylines,
or splines. This is helpful in controlling
the display of special linetypes, such as
those containing symbols or text.
Reverse is available either as a
stand-alone command, or as an option
inside the Edit Polyline command.
Convert Spline Objects
Another new feature makes it easy to
convert spline objects into polylines.
Inside the Edit Spline command, the
"Convert to Polyline" option asks for a
precision value between 0 and 99. The
higher the value, the more accurate the
fit will be.
An option inside the Edit Polyline
command can also convert splines into
polylines.
To further control the accuracy
when converting splines to polylines,
use the new PLINECONVERTMODE
variable to specify the fit method.
When PLINECONVERTMODE is set to
0, polylines are created with linear seg-
ments. When it's set to 1 (the default),
polylines are created with arc segments,
which gives greater accuracy to the
end result.
