REVCLOUD not prompting option to reverse cloud direction.

I am having an issue with being able to reverse REVCLOUDs.  When I enter the REVCLOUD command it asks to specify the option (e.g., arclength/object/rect/etc.) then, say, if I select rectangle and then draw out the rectangle it completes the REVCLOUD command and never prompts me with the option to reverse the cloud direction.  This was something that happened before but seemed to stop doing so and I can't figure out why or how to fix it.

 

Here below shows in the command line what I mean.

I'm running the below version (R.154.0.0 AutoCAD 2021.1.1)

If anybody has ran into this issue or has an idea what I might try to solve this, I would appreciate any contribution.  Thank you.

Are you perhaps thinking of a much older year-version of AutoCAD that did that?
REVCLOUD changed some time ago now (R2016), before you close your REVCLOUD>FREEHAND choice you need to right-click then choose REVERSE.

The reverse option does not exist if you choose the RECTANGLE or POLYGON type of REVCLOUD.

 

FYI... you are missing a newer update

@pendean You are correct, I must have been incorrectly remembering that I could do that with a rectangle. 

 

I was able to get the prompt again when I was converting a poly line to a REVCLOUD.  

 

Thank you so much.
