Chapter 12 Arranging and Patterning Objects
367
The
PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS
system variable controls how the
REVERSE
command affects polyline objects. The default setting of
0
only allows you to reverse
start and end points. Polylines with varying width appear unchanged. Set the
PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS
system variable to
1
to also reverse varying polyline width.
See Figure 12-12B.

You can also use the
Reverse
option of the
PEDIT
command to reverse
polylines, and the
Reverse
option of the
SPLINEDIT
command to
reverse splines, as explained later in this textbook. Reversing affects the
vertex options of the
PEDIT
command and control point options of the
SPLINEDIT
command. The
PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS
system variable
also applies to the
PEDIT
command.
