    Default Reverse Line Direction Button

    This button is only available in the Shape Tool Toolbar. It's not within the Button Gallery.

    I would suggest having this button available on the Straight Line Tool and the Freehand Brush Tool.

    I'd like to see it in the Button Gallery so I could copy it and have access to it at any time. Bear in mind the reason that I would want this is if I was drawing with a pressure profiles and I need to reverse where the thick and thin of the line is.

    To have to stop drawing, change tools just to access one button, and then change back to the tool you were using is inefficient and unnatural to a sketching type of workflow.

    i agree
    with any tool where you are drawing/manipulating lines the reverse button shd be accessible

    there's a keystroke option for this - don't think it's set by default, but if you have pro you can set it, it's called 'reverse paths' and I have mine set to 'r' [on account of being unimaginative like...]

    sure - k/s no use for finger swipers either I guess - but who knows an old fashioned typer may stumble on this thread one day and be grateful [or curse if they don't have the pro version...]

    It's available on the info bar from the shape tool. I agree that's unhandy, because you have to select the line then go to the shape tool, but that's where it is.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    However, the only time you can use this... never mind. I'm wrong. I can think of a time I might use this when I do not have the Shape Tool selected. Sorry.

    I'm going back to my vaporizer research.
