We are using a custom linestyle that has text imbedded in it. The problem is when the line is drawn for point A to point B the linestyle is shown correctly, but, when the line is drawn from point B to point A the text within the linestyle is upside down. Is there a utility available that will allow me to easily change the direction of the line.
"Wierd Action": When you explode back to an arc the direction goes back to the original. See F2 below.

ARCs and CIRCLEs are always counterclockwise in AutoCAD. The only way to keep a "reversed" CIRCLE or ARC is to let it remain as Polyline Arc segment(s). PLREV converts CIRCLEs and ARCs to Polylines, as you have noticed. To keep them "reversed" do NOT EXPLODE them. ___
I looked at the code and figured that out. Pretty clever. You must use a bunch of complex linetypes to make writing all that code worth it. The issue has never really come up for me in my work.
