Swapping the End Points of an Element in a Path Graphic

The path graphic is created by following the direction in which you draw its elements.

If a path graphic does not appear as expected, this can be caused by drawing an element in a different direction as intended. You can see this if one of the path graphic edges appears crossed over when connecting to the previous and next element.

You can fix this by swapping the end points of the element where this appears.

To swap the end points of an element within a path graphic

1. Select the path graphic you want to edit.

2. Do one of the following:

   1. On the Edit menu, click Edit Path.

   2. Slowly double-click the path graphic.

      The path graphic appears in element mode.

3. Select the individual element within the path graphic for which you want to swap the end points. You can also do this by selecting the element in the Elements List.

4. Right-click that element and select Path, Swap End Points on the context menu. The end points of the selected element are swapped and the path graphic is updated accordingly.

5. Click outside the path graphic on the canvas. The path graphic is shown in path mode.
