How To Flip The Dynamic Segments
If not already editing a shape’s segment, double click on a shape or track segment to start editing it. Right click to use the shortcut menu. Click on the sub-menu option Change Segments. From the sub-menu select the Flip Dynamic Segments option.
Note: this is not available when the Segment Mode is FREE as this is single segment editing.
The following example helps explain what happens.
Before Flip Dynamic Segments  Adding Orthogonal X segment followed by Orthogonal Y segment. | After Flip Dynamic Segments  Now adding Orthogonal Y segment followed by Orthogonal X segment. |
Flip works for each segment mode as follows:
-
Orthogonal
Before: X Line followed by Y line.
After: Y Line followed by X line.
-
Angled
Before: Orthogonal line followed by 45 degree line.
After: 45 degree line followed by orthogonal line.
-
Curved
Before: Orthogonal line followed by 90 degree curve.
After: 90 degree curve followed by orthogonal line.
-
Free - Not applicable.
And vice-versa.
