Change Polyline Origin and Direction

Change Polyline Origin and Direction

Win32 and 64, English

Pencil 9
This plug-in can be used with Autodesk® AutoCAD® to change the origin of a closed lightweight 2D Polyline as well as the direction.

General Usage Instructions

This app is a great solution when it is important to maintain precise control of the origin and direction of a boundary defined by a closed polyline.  

If each vertex of a polyline represents a physical point and a report will be extracted from the polyline (i.e. Legal Descriptions) it can be very important to specify what the first point in the report should be.  

Also, you may want to have the direction of the polyline reversed to properly order the points.  

This app will allow you to control the origin of a polyline as well as the direction without losing any XDATA that may be associated with the vertex points.  

Also, using the reverse functionality will not shift the origin of the Polyline, the origin will remain as assigned but the order of the polyline vertices will be reversed.  

This app will handle the polylines with curved segments as well.
