Arc curving the wrong way

[ztraasmiter]

Can’t find any answer on Google, maybe because it’s so simple but my arc is curving the wrong way. For instance, my arc is curving towards the east but I need it to curve to the west, I’ve tried the ctrl key and this reverses the arc in the N/S direction. I can’t seem create complete polylines because of this. Surely it must be a simple answer, anyone know?

Which Arc are you drawing? Do you have a UCS rotation set?

Please describe your workflow. Drawing an arc on a polyline visually selects the direction. Are you using Transparent Commands? If so. Are you using a positive radius for Clockwise and a negative for Counterclockwise?

An Arc coming off a line segment while drawing a polyline is naturally Tangent. Are you trying to draw a non-tangent curve?
